Question: Two parallel rectangular horizontal flow sedimentation tanks are used to treat river water of flow 1 . 0 ( m ^ ( 3 ) )

Two parallel rectangular horizontal flow sedimentation tanks are used to treat river water of flow 1.0(m^(3))/(s).
The dimensions of the settling zone are length =50m, width =12m, depth =3m. A flow splitter distributes
the flow equally over the two tanks. The influent concentration of the SS is 160(g)/(m^(3)). The particles settle
discretely and the cumulative frequency distribution curve of the settling velocities is approximated by a
straight line passing through the two points (0(m)/(s),0%) and {:(10)^(*)10^(-3)(m)/(s),100%). The dry solids content
of the sludge is 5%(\rho ) and the \rho _(s)=2100k(g)/(m^(3)).
For ideal settling conditions,
aRe and Fr for the horizontal water movement. Comment on your results.
