Separate sewer, 0.70 full, 100000 persons
Short answer
Peak flow = 0.4167 m³/s. Using Q/Q_f=0.8372 at 0.7 depth, Q_f=0.4977 m³/s; from Manning's, D=0.776 m (adopt 825 mm). At design flow, the sewer runs about 0.62 full with v ≈ 1.19 m/s.
Design a circular sewer running 0.70 full at maximum discharge for a town provided with the separate system serving a population of 100000 persons. Water is supplied from the water works at a rate of 200 liters per capita per day. Take a constant value of n = 0.013 at all depths of flow. The permissible slope is 1 in 600. Take a peak factor of 2.25.
Design flow
Assume 80% of the water supplied reaches the sewer. Peak factor = 2.25.
Data: , (constant at all depths), depth ratio .
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 = 825 mm.
Check of velocity and capacity
For the adopted pipe: m/s and m³/s.
At the design flow, , which gives and , so m/s.
The velocity at maximum flow, about 1.2 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: Provide a circular sewer of D = 825 mm at slope 1 in 600 (computed diameter 0.776 m runs exactly 0.7 full). The adopted pipe can carry 0.4907 m³/s at 0.7 depth; at Q = 0.4167 m³/s it runs about 0.62 full with v ≈ 1.19 m/s.
