Design-of-sewers-Tutorial

Design section of combined sewer from following data: Area to be served =150 ha, population of locality = 50000, maximum permissible velocity =3.2 m/sec, time of entry = 5 minutes, time of flow = 20 minutes, rate of water supply =270 lpcd, impermeability factor =0.45, maximum discharge =1.8 times DWF. Assume any or suitable data if needed.

Solution:

Assuming `100%` of the supplied water reaches the sewer, the average sanitary discharge is given by

`Q_(DWF)=(1**50000**0.270)/(86400)`

`=0.15625\ m^3/s`

The peak sanitary discharge is, `=1.8**0.15625=0.28125\ m^3/s`

The sewer is designed for maximum discharge.

Now, 

`T_c=T_e+T_f=5+20=25\ m i n`

Where, `T_c` is the time of concentration

`T_e` is the time of entry.

`T_f` is the time of flow.

The quantity of storm water will be maximum when storm duration is equal to the time of concentration.

`Thus, t=T_c=25 mi n`

Now, the intensity of rainfall is,

`i=1020/(t+20)=22.67\ (m m)/(h r)` 

Again, the storm discharge is given by,

`Q_(W W F)=(CiA)/360=(0.45**22.67**150)/360=4.35\ m^3/s`

Thus, the discharge for the combined sewer is,

`Q=4.35+0.281`

`=4.531\ m^3/s`

Now, `Q=AV`

or, `4.531=(pi d^2)/4**3.2`
