Combined circular sewer, 35 ha
Short answer
Combined Q=0.5921 m³/s at d/D=0.6. Using proportional relations, Q_f=0.8813 m³/s; Manning's with n=0.011, S=1/750 gives D=0.942 m. Provide 1050 mm pipe, resulting v=1.46 m/s (between 0.6 and 3.0 m/s, acceptable).
Calculate the diameter of combined circular sewer with following data: water supply rate = 100 lpcd, population density = 100 persons/hec, peak factor = 2.7, area = 35 hectares, rainfall intensity = 15 mm/hr, slope = 1/750, Manning's coefficient of rugosity = 0.011. The coefficient of run-off = 0.4. The sewer should run 0.6 depth full during peak flow.
Step 1: Sewage flow
Population . Assume 80% of the supply becomes sewage.
Step 2: Storm water
Step 3: Combined design discharge
Step 4: Diameter (, , )
For : , , , so and (n taken constant).
Size of the sewer
Discharge when running full:
Manning's formula for a full circular pipe, , with and :
Adopt the next standard size, D = 1050 mm.
Check of velocity and capacity
For the adopted pipe: m/s and m³/s.
The velocity at maximum flow, 1.46 m/s, lies between the minimum (0.6 m/s) and the maximum non-scouring limit (3.0 m/s), so it is satisfactory.
Answer: Diameter of the combined circular sewer = 0.942 m; provide 1050 mm.
