Question: The average sewage flow at a small pumping station is 1 0 0 0 0 L d , while the minimum and maximum flows are

The average sewage flow at a small pumping station is 10000Ld, while the minimum and maximum flows are 15000Ld and 400000Ld. Two identical 400000Ld pumps are used alternately.
a) Compute the maximum volume, V, of the wet well if the pumps must not be in operation more than two minutes (pumping time or tp) per pumping cycle (during the pumping time of a complete pumping cycle the water level is lowered from its maximum level to its minimum level). For this computation, use the minimal sewage flow.
b) What is the longest time required to fill the wet well? Answers to this questions are a) V=534.72 L
b) maximum filling time =51.3 minutes
