Question: A mechanically cleaned bar screen has 3 0 parallel sharp - edged rectangular bars 1 2 mm wide placed at a clear spacing of 2

A mechanically cleaned bar screen has 30 parallel sharp-edged rectangular bars 12 mm wide placed
at a clear spacing of 20 mm . The facility is provided as a preliminary treatment unit at a wastewater
treatment facility. The water depth and flow through the screen are 1.5 m and 0.85m3s, respec-
tively. The angle of inclination of bars is 10 from the vertical. Calculate (1) head loss across clean
screen, Cd=0.7, and (2) head loss across the screen at 50% clogging. Cd=0.6.
A mechanically cleaned bar screen has 3 0
