Design-of-sewers-Tutorial

Design a section of combined circular sewer from following data :
    Area to be served = 250 ha
  • Population = 60,000
  • Maximum permissible velocity = 3.2 m/sec
  • Time of entry = 5 minutes
  • Time of flow =20 minutes
  • Rate of water supply = 280 lpcd
  • Impermeability factor =0.5
  • Maximum discharge =1.85 * DWF.

Solution:

Assuming `80%` of the supplied water reaches the sewer, the average sanitary discharge is given by

`Q_(DWF)=(0.8**60000**0.280)/(86400)`

`=0.1556\ m^3/s`

The peak sanitary discharge is, `=1.85**0.1556=0.28778\ m^3/s`

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 intensty of rainfall is,

`i=1020/(t+20)`

`=1020/(45)=22.67\ ( m m)/(hr)`

Again, the storm discharge is given by,

`Q_(W W F)=(CiA)/360`

`=(0.5**22.67**250)/360`

`=7.8715\ m^3/s`

Therefore, the combined discharge is,

`Q=0.28778+7.8715=8.1593\ m^3/s`

Now, 8.1593=(pi d^2)/4**3.2`

or, `d=1.801\ m`

Adopting commercially available size `d=1.85\ m`
