3.1 Volumetric concentration, Cv = Vs/V, where Vs is volume of solid and V is

sample volume. So:

Vs
Cv = = 20 ppm = 20 10 6 m 3 / m 3
V

Density of solid, = M/V, where M is its mass and = 2650 kg/m3. So:

M
C= = Cv = 2650 20 10 6 kg / m 3 = 53 mg / l

gram atomic weight of H is 1.0 g
gram molecular weight of ammonium is 14 + (4 1) = 18 g

From equation 3.2:

35 mgNH 4+ / l = 35 = 27 mgNH 4+ N / l

So, total N conc = 15 + 27 = 42 mgN / l

3.12 Taken over a 10-year period, there were 11 violations, whereas only up to 10
are permitted, so this water is not in compliance with the standard.

Peak = 2500 l/s after 40 mins.

The units are h-1 because this is based on an instantaneous inflow of unit
volume. So, actual volume in this case:

V = 10 mm 100,000 m2 [10 ha] = 1000 m3

Qp = 1000 m3/h = 278 l/s

7.2 From co-ordinates, W-E and N-S distance between manholes are 68.114 m
and 22.451 m respectively. From Pythagoras, length of sewer is 71.719 m.

Invert level of MHA (ILA) = 16.438 0.375 = 16.063 m

Change in height along sewer (H) = 71.719 / 258 = 0.278 m
ILB1 (entry invert level) = 16.063 0.278 = 15.785 m
ILB2 (exit) = 15.785 + 0.375 0.45 = 15.710 m

9.1 dia below 200 mm would not be suitable

so try 200 mm and assume not drowned
water level 1.5 m H = 1.5 0.2 = 1.3 m
0. 2 2
Q = 0.6 2 g 1.3 = 95 l/s
4
water level 1.7 m gives Q of 102 l/s
so 200 mm is the appropriate diameter

check not drowned:

Wallingford chart or table for ks 0.03 mm gives Qf of 140 l/s

9.2 hydraulic gradient is 1.5 m in 25 m or 6 in 100

Wallingford chart or table for ks 0.03 mm gives Qf of 125 l/s

inlet-controlled? Try orifice equation with H 1.5 m

0 .2 2
Q = 0.6 2 g 1.5 = 102 l/s
4
yes inlet-controlled (in fact H would be less than 1.5 m because the pipe
itself would have a gradient, see Fig. 9.6, but that would make Q lower,
therefore still inlet-controlled)

CHAPTER 10

10.4 a) Population = 75 500 = 37, 500

Average domestic flow = 37500 160 = 6.0 106 l/d
Trade flow = 10000 500 0.1 = 0.5 106 l/d
Infiltration = 37500 20 = 0.75 106 l/d
Total = 7.25 106 l/d = 84 l/s
b) From table 10.4:

 5 5
PF = 1

5 5
P 37.5

Assuming the peak factor is applied to all flows,

Qp = 203 l/s

10.5 a) Using a Butler-Pinkerton chart gives d/D= 0.65

d = 0.65 500 = 325 mm

b) Using the same chart gives a flow capacity of 240 l/s at d/D = 0.75.
So solve for P (population) in:

5 P 160 + 0.5 10 6 + P 20
= 240
(P 1000 )1 5
3600 24

P= 40422
P = 2922

10.8 p = 10/300 = 0.0333 N=5 J=0.999

Using equation 10.5b e.g.

5!
P (0,5) = 0.0333 0 0.967 5
0!5!
And following equation 10.6:

r P(r,N) P(r,N)
0 0.845 0.845
1 1.44 0.989
2 0.010 0.999
3 . .

So r = 2 (max discharging simultaneously)

10.10 150 mm dia pipe @ 1:300 flowing d/D = 0.75 Q = 8 l/s (B-P charts)

From equation 10.7:

8 = 0 .5 N 3 .5 N = 73
8 = 0.046 N N = 174

The time area diagram shows a tangent (dashed line) can be drawn from t =

A 2.05
Q = 2.78 750 = 2.78 750 = 267 l / s
t + 10 6 + 10
11.12 Using incremental areas read from time-area diagram:

Q(1) = 0.05 x 20 =1
Q(2) = 0.40 x 20 + 0.05 x 28 = 9.4
Q(3) = 0.40 x 20 + 0.40 x 28 + 0.05 x 64 = 22.4
Q(4) = 0.40 x 20 + 0.40 x 28 + 0.40 x 64 = 44.8
Q(5) = 0.45 x 20 + 0.40 x 28 + 0.40 x 64 = 45.8
Q(6) = 0.35 x 20 + 0.45 x 28 + 0.40 x 64 = 45.2

Qp = 2.78 45.8 = 127 l/s

3.7 0.75 0.75 2g 0.002 0.75

So, no, there is not sufficient capacity.

Using B-P charts or other Colebrook-White part full pipe flow solution methods
for Q = 15 l/s gives v = 0.44 m/s, so no this would not self cleanse.

Volume of storm:

Equation 16.9:

For kb = 50 mm , b = 0.0716 (from equation 16.10). Then rearranging 16.9

gives:

?
r

100
5% annual discount rate gives 307 000 so rehab is appropriate
7% gives 254 000 so rehabilitation is not appropriate in cost terms

18.2 Renovation cost, plus replacement cost discounted over 25 years gives:
850 000
500 000 + = 751 000
1.05 25
This is less than the replacement cost (850 000) so it is more cost-effective
to renovate.

21.4 Follow procedure in example 21.2, calculating L from equations (20.2) to

(20.4), based on the worst case infiltration of 25 mm/h:

The critical case is 10.1 m at 4h.
