A water filtration plant desired to filter 6000 gallons of water per hour through a sand filter bed to remove suspended matters and solids from water. Based on the data given, determine the permeability of the required filter bed. Thickness of sand filter bed = 5 ft Area of pit 2000 ft Viscosity of water = 1 cp Height of water above the filter = 10 ft A water filtration plant desired to filter 6000 gallons of water per hour through a sand filter bed to remove suspended matters and solids from water.
