g A primary sedimentation basin is designed for an average flow of 0.3 m3/s. The TSS concentration in the influent is 240 mg/L.

The average solids removal efficiency of the basin is 60 percent. The sludge has an average solids concentration of 4 percent and a specific gravity of 1.025. Calculate (a) the quantity and volume of sludge produced, (b) the effluent flow rate, and (c) the pump cycle time if the pumping rate is 570 L/min.

Answer:

(a) 0.243 m3/day

(b) 96 mg/l

(c) 0.426 m3/min

Explanation:

The sludge has an average solids concentration of 4 percent and considering TSS concentration in the influent of 240 mg/L then solids in sludge will be 0.04*240= 9.6 mg/L

Considering the average flow of 0.3 m3/s then mass of sludge per day will be given by 0.3*1000*9.6*60*60*24/1000000=248.832 kg/day

To get volume, considering specific gravity given as 1.025 and taking density of water as 1000 kg/m3 then density of sludge is 1025 kg/m3

Volume is mass/density hence 248.832/1025=0.2427629268292 m3/day

Approximately, the volume of sludge is 0.243 m3/day.

(b)

Efficiency of 60 percent is equivalent to 0.6

Efficiency=(influent concentration- flow rate)/influent concentration

0.6=(240-flow rate)/240

Flow rate= 96 mg/l

(c)

Cycle time= 0.243/0.57=0.4263157894736 m3/min

Rounded off, cycle time is 0.426 m3/day

A ramp from an expressway with a design speed of 30 mi/h connects with a local road, forming a T intersection. An additional lan
hram777 [196]

Answer:

the width of the turning roadway = 15 ft

Explanation:

Given that:

A ramp from an expressway with a design speed(u) =  30 mi/h connects with a local road

Using 0.08 for superelevation(e)

The minimum radius of the curve on the road can be determined by using the expression:

R = \dfrac{u^2}{15(e+f_s)}

where;

R= radius

f_s = coefficient of friction

From the tables of coefficient of friction for a design speed at 30 mi/h ;

f_s = 0.20

So;

R = \dfrac{30^2}{15(0.08+0.20)}

R = \dfrac{900}{15(0.28)}

R = \dfrac{900}{4.2}

R = 214.29 ft

R ≅ 215 ft

However; given that :

The turning roadway has stabilized shoulders on both sides and will provide for a onelane, one-way operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle.

From the tables of "Design widths of pavement for turning roads"

For a One-way operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle; this criteria falls under Case 1 operation

Similarly; we are told that the design vehicle is a single-unit truck; so therefore , it falls under traffic condition B.

As such in Case 1 operation that falls under traffic condition B  in accordance with the Design widths of pavement for turning roads;

If the radius = 215 ft; the value for the width of the turning roadway for this conditions = 15ft

Hence; the width of the turning roadway = 15 ft
