Question: A continuous flow settling tank having dimensions 6 5 m x 1 m x 3 m ( L x B x H ) is provided

A continuous flow settling tank having dimensions 65 m x 1 m x 3 m (L x B x H) is provided for the treatment of a raw water stream having a flow rate of 2.5 x 10^3 m^3/day. Assuming the flow to be laminar, what is the minimum size of particle that can be removed with 100% efficiency in the settling tank? Specific Gravity (G)=2.65, Dynamic Viscosity (\mu )=1.002 x 10^2 N-s/m^2
