Homework is to be submitted on LMS on Friday June 19 @ 7 pm
Problem 1
Given a chlorine demand of 3.5 mg/L and a chlorine residual of 0.5 mg/L, what should
the chlorinator dosage be (lbs/day) to disinfect a flow of 3.5 MGD? (1000 gal/day= 3.785
m3/d)?
Problem 2
A new main is disinfected with water containing 50 mg/l of chlorine by feeding a 1.0
percent solution of chlorine to the water entering the pipe. (a) How many pounds of dry
hypochlorite powder, containing 70 percent available chlorine, must be added to 40 gal
of water to make a 1.0 percent solution? (b) At what rate should this 1.0 percent
solution be applied to the water entering the pipe to provide a concentration of 50
mg/l?
Problem 3
What is the flowing‐full quantity and velocity of flow for a 50‐cm.‐diameter sewer on a
slope of 0.003 m/m using (a) n = 0.013 and (b) n = 0.011? For a roughness of 0.013,
compute the quantity of flow for a depth of flow equal to 30 cm.
Problem 4
What slope is required to produce a velocity of flow equal to 1.0 m/s when the depth of
flow is 90 mm in a 450‐mm‐diameter vitrified clay sewer?
