1.1 Hydraulic design of Desilting Chamber

2 Design Data & Assumptions


Project Design Data

Design Discharge for the Plant, Qd = 5.80 m /s
Continuous Overleading = 0.00 %

Width of feeding canal = 3.00 m
Assumptions

Flushing Discharge as % of Design Discharge = 0.00 %


Particle Size to be Removed, d ≥ 0.2 mm
Desired Hopper angle, q = 40 degree
Trench Width, b = 0.50 m
Trench Depth, h = 0.50 m
Manning's Coefficient, n = 0.016

Max. flow through velocity(as per CWPRS), V o = 0.35 m/s

Max. width of bay, B = 5.35 m


Number of Bays = 1.0

Fall Velocity of Particle (by L Sundry) , Vo = 0.050 m/s

3 Computations (as per CWPRS Guidelines)
Step 1

3
Flow at entry (with overloading and flushing discharge) = 5.80 m /s
3
Flow at exit (less flushing discharge) = 5.80 m /s
3
Average flow in the desilting chamber, Q = 5.80 m /s
3
Average flow in one bay, Q1 = 5.80 m /s

2
Required X-Sectional Area per bay (Ar) = 16.6 m
(corresponding to max flow through velocity)
2
Adopt, Aad = 20.0 m
2
Total X-Sectional Area of Desilting Chamber, At = 20.0 m

Sizing of the bay

Area of each Basin, = A1+A2+A3

h1, calculated to ensure assumed hopper slope = 2.03 m


say 2.10 m
2
A1 = 6.14 m
h3, calculated as semi circle of diameter equal to bay width 0.00 m
say 0.00 m
2
A3 = 0.00 m
2
Required area from middle portion, A2 = 13.86 m
Therefore, h2 = 2.59 m
say 3.00 m

2
Actual X-sectional Area of one bay, Aa = 22.19 m
Actual velocity through the desilting chamber, Va = 0.26 m/s OK
Total Flow Depth in the chamber, D = 5.10 m

Wetted Perimeter, P = 20.97 m


Hydraulic Radius, R = 1.06 m

Step 2
Length of Inlet Transition
CWPRS recommends a bed slope between 1V:2H to 1V:2.3H

Assuming slope of transition, 1V in 2.0 H


Inlet Transition Length 7.4 m
Say = 7.40 m
7.40 m

1.40 m

5.10 m

3.70m

Step 3

Check for Flare Angle of Inlet Transition


0 0
CWPRS recommends a flare angle between 6 to 9 .

3.00 m 5.35 m

Tanφ = 0.16
φ= 9.0 degree FALSE

Step 4
Length of Basin (L)
Effective depth, D = 5.10 m
Average Forward Velocity/Flow through Velocity, Va = 0.26 m/s
Required fall velocity, Vo = D*Va/L

Assuming L = 27.00 m
Vo = 0.049 m/s OK

Step 5
Calculation of Efficiency of removal of Settling Basin
Hydraulic Gradient, = 1.62E-05

0.5
Shear Velocity, v*=(gRS) = 0.012985 m/s
= 3.85

wAs= = 1.01
Q

From the above graph of Camp, Efficiency = 91.00 %
