Question: A rectangular grit chamber has the following properties: V = 2 9 4 m 3 A = 1 4 7 m 2 f = 0

A rectangular grit chamber has the following properties:
V =294 m3 A =147 m2 f =0.025
The wastewater flow and wastewater particles have the following characteristics:
Q =0.78 m3/s
p =1.8 x 103 kg/m3 k =0.035
What is the diameter (in m) of the smallest particle that will be 100% removed at 20C?
What % removal of particles with dp =0.9 x 10-4 m will be achieved in the grit chamber?
What % removal of particles with dp =1.5 x 10-4 m will be achieved in the grit chamber?
If the particle in part a is just scoured in the grit chamber, what is the length of the grit chamber?
What qualitative change in the grit chamber design should be implemented to avoid scouring the part a particle? Briefly explain your reasoning.
