1. A circular primary clarifier processes an average flow of 5005 m /d of municipal wastewater. The overflow rate is 35 m / m d. The diameter of clarifier shall be (a) (c) 10.5 m 12.5 m (b) (d) 11.5 m 13.5 m
3 2/ 3

2. The following data are given for a channel-type grit chamber of length 7.5 m, flow-through velocity = 0.3 m/s, the depth of wastewater at peak flow in the channel = 0.9 m, specific gravity of inorganic particles = 2.5 g = 9.80 m/s2, m = 1.002 103 Ns/m2 at 20 C, w 1000 kg/m3 Assuming that the Stokes is valid, the largest diameter particle that would be removed with 100 percent efficiency is (a) 0.04 mm (c) 1.92 mm (b) (d) 0.21 mm 6.64 mm
