Calculate the flow rate of the backwash pump to be used for a pressure sand filter with the following data. Flowrate: 2200 m3/h Rise velocity of PSF (Pressure Sand filter): 10 m/h
A rotary drum filter with 30% submergence is used to filter concentrated aqueous slurry of calcium carbonate containing 15lb of solids per cubic foot of water. The pressure–drop is 2011Hg. If the filter cake contains 50% mixture (wet basis), calculate the filter area required to filter 10 gal/min of slurry. The filter cycle time is 5 min. The specific cake resistance depends on the pressure–drop as: α (ft/lb) = α (Δp)0.26, where α = 2.90×1010 Viscosity of the filtrate = 6.72×10-4 lb/ft-s. Density of calcium carbonate = 168.8 lb/ft3. Neglect filter medium resistance.
Assume in a sample of waste water around 60% TSS is removed by primary sedimentation without chemical addition. Calculate the mass of TSS removed for the following data. Amount of TSS present initially: 220 mg/L Waste water flow: 1000 m3/d
Water flowing with TSS at the rate of 40 Liter/min, is discharged into a river flowing at the rate of 20 Liter/min, if the concentration of TSS in the river is 5 mg/L, what is the concentration of TSS in water?
Two outlets of a motor manufacturing company reported that revenue from outlet x in 2013 was down 11 percent from 2012. and revenue from outlet Y in 2013 were up 7 percent from 2012. If total revenue from outlet X & Y in 2013 was up 1 percent from 2012, what is the ratio of revenue from outlet X in 2012 revenue from outlet Y in 2012?
A tank has an optional adjustable outlet pipe that can be attached to the tank at any height we want. This outlet pipe drains water from the tank at a constant rate, while the tank is being filled using another inlet pipe at a constant rate. If the outlet, pipe is attached at half the height of the tank, the tank, which is initially empty gets filled in 18 hours. If the outlet pipe is attached at height equal to two third height of the tank, the tank, which is initially empty, is filled in 16 hours. In how many hours will the tank, which is initially empty, be completely filled if the outlet pipe is not attached to the tank?
The following are certain operating problems of a rapid sand filter: 1. Sand depth should never be depleted by more than 10 cm. 2. Air binding results due to development of negative head and formation of air bubbles in the filter sand. 3. Water softening with lime-soda leads to incrustation of sand. 4. Bumping of filter bed is caused due to negative head. Which of the above statements are correct?
Which of the following statements are correct pertaining to the value of uniformity coefficient Cu for filter sand? (1) For slow sand filters, Cu = 1.8 to 2.5 (2) For rapid sand filters, Cu = 1.3 to 1.7 (3) For slow sand filters, Cu = 1.3 to 1.7 (4) For rapid sand filters, Cu = 1.8 to 2.5
