Please provide steps so I walk through this.
A sedimentation tank must be designed for the town of Laramie. Laramie has a population of 110,000 people and this increases at a rate of 1% per year. The average per capita water use is 95 gal/day and increases at a rate of 0.02%. The design flow rate will be calculated at 30 years in the future. Determine the overlow rate required if the smallest particle diameter in meters that should be completely removed is 20 microns (20 x 10-6m). Assume the following:
particle specific gravity =2.6
water density =1000 kg/m3
=1.307 x 10-3Pas
g =9.81 m/s2
Potential Answers:
3.4 m/d
2.31 x 10^31 m/d
23.1 m/d
4.5 m/d
