Problem:
(Figure should show filter 400mm deep, not 200mm. Error corrected 27Mar12)
A sand filter is to be used to purify water.
The sand filter bed is 400mm deep and has an area of 1.0m2.
Water is supplied to the top of the filter bed from a header tank which provides a constant head of 2.9m to the outlet of the filter (assume this is the total head loss across the filter).
Previous tests with this sand show that the coefficient of permeability of sand when it is clean is 8.1 x 10-4m/s and when the sand is dirty and needs backwashing the coefficient of permeability of the dirty sand n is 5.2 x 10-6m/s
(a) Calculate the expected rate of flow (in liters/sec) when the sand is clean
(b) Calculate the expected rate of flow (in liters/sec) when the sand needs to be backwashed.
At a point in a material, a resultant stress of 151 MN/m^2 acts in a direction making angles of 52 deg, 79 deg, and 40.13 deg with the coordinate axes, x,y and z respectively
The water table is at a depth of 1 m. Compute the effective normal stress and the shear stress acting on a plane rotated 60 degrees clockwise from the horizontal at a depth of 2.5 m in this deposit.
A fully penetrating well of 30 cm diameter in an unconfined aquifer of saturated thickness 50 m was found to give the following draw down - discharge relationship under equillibium condition.
A Pelton wheel, located at an elevation of 200.0 m, is used to extract power from a reservoir at an elevation of 800 m. A penstock 1500 m long and 0.8 m in diameter connects the reservoir with the nozzle of the Pelton wheel.
An inventor claims to have invented an adiabatic steady-flow device with a single inlet-outlet that produces 100 kW when expanding 1 kg/s of air from 900 kPa and 300 degrees C to 100 kPa.
Given the initial effective stress state at a point within a soil mass (s_y=2.5 daN/cm2, s_x=1.5 daN/cm2, t_xy=t_xy=0.4 daN/cm2) and effective soil shear strength parameters at the same point
Maintenance expenses for a bridge in Georgia are estimated to be $200,000 for the first eight years followed by two separate million dollar expenditures in years 12 and 18. The expected life of the bridge is thirty years.
You are in charge of evaluating the safety (hazard) of a low water crossing. Traffic surveys show that the "Aaverage"vehicle using the crossing is semi-rectangular in shape (10 ft long, 5 ft wide, and 4.0 ft high - not including the distance from the..
What is the difference between stiffness and flexibility matrix
A structure is designed with a factor of safety of 5.25 psi. If the allowable stress of the structure is 3000 psi. What stress on the structure will lead to its failure
A local contractor has just bought warehouse and decided to fence in an area of 1152 square feet behind the warehouse.He plans to use the wall of the building as one of the four sides that will enclose the rectangular area.
a suspension bridge cable of span 100 m and central dip 10 m is suspended from the same level at two towers. the bridge
