The flow from two of the troughs described in Problem 14.20 passes into a sump, from which a round common clay drainage tile carries it to a storm sewer. Determine the size of tile required to carry the flow (500 gal/min) when running half full. The slope is 0.1 percent.

Data from Problem 14.20

A square storage room is equipped with automatic sprinklers for fire protection that spray 1000 gal/min of water. The floor is designed to drain this flow evenly to troughs near each outside wall. The troughs are shaped as shown in Fig. 14.23 . Each trough carries 250 gal/min, is laid on a 1-percent slope, and is formed of unfinished concrete. Determine the minimum depth h.
