1. A mechanically cleaned coarse bar rack will be used in a WWTP for a flowrate of \(40,000\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{d}\). The bar rack will be set at an angle of 75 degrees from horizontal and will have clear bar spacing of 12 mm . The bar rack uses \(12-\mathrm{mm}\)-wide bars. The upstream channel velocity should be greater than \(0.4\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\). Assume the water depth is 2.4 m .
(1) Size the channel for a mechanically cleaned coarse bar rack.
(2) Determine the head loss through the bar rack for the clean screen and for a screen that is 40 percent clogged.
