Question: 6 . 5 A mechanically cleaned bar screen is used in preliminary treatment for the following conditions: Incline from vertical = 3 0 Wastewater flow

6.5 A mechanically cleaned bar screen is used in preliminary treatment
for the following conditions:
Incline from vertical =30
Wastewater flow rate =150,000 m
3
/d
Approach velocity =0.6 m/s
Open area for flow through the screen =1.6 m
2
Head loss coefficient for clean screen =0.74
Head loss coefficient for clogged screen =0.60
a. Calculate the clean water head loss through the bar screen.
b. Calculate the head loss after 50% of the flow area is clogged
with solids.
