Question: 1 . If a filter is backwashed at ( 3 6 mathrm { ~m } / mathrm { h } )

1. If a filter is backwashed at \(36\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{h}\) at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), what is the minimum size of the sand grain in the filter medium that is required to avoid being washed away?
2. A deep bed granular filter media is made of 0.5 m of sand stacked on top of 1 m of anthracite. ES of anthracite media and sand media is 1 mm and 1.2 mm , respectively. Calculate the clean bed head loss for a filtration rate of \(10\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{h}\) at temperature of \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\).(hint: calculate the head loss separately for each filter bed and add them)
