• When any discrete particle is falling through a fluid , it will accelerate

until the frictional resistance or drag force becomes equal to the


gravitational forces acting upon the particle .
• At such stage the particle will settle at uniform velocity .
• The uniform velocity is called ((settling velocity)).
• Mathematically, at this stage , the driving force of acceleration (𝐹𝐺 -
𝐹𝐵𝐷 ) of the particle becomes equal the drag force.
• 𝐹𝐺 - 𝐹𝐵 = 𝐹𝐷
Drag Coefficients

• The drag coefficient CD takes different values depending on the flow


regime surrounding the particle:

• Where:
• R: Reynold number
• Reynold number for spheres moving through a liquid is:
R=inertia force/viscous force

Where:
R: Reynold number
d: diameter of sphere, m
Vs: velocity of particle(sphere), m/s
• Drag coefficient for sphere particles depending on the flow regime:
• 1- for laminar flow.(laminar flow, type of fluid (gas or liquid) flow in which the fluid travels smoothly or in
regular paths)

• R<1 ( viscous force>inertia force)

• 2- for transition flow.


1<R<10^4
Viscous and inertia forces are of equal importance
• 3- for turbulent flow(turbulent flow, in which the fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations and mixing)
R>10^4
Inertia force are the most important.

4- for spherical particles falling under laminar conditions, the terminal


velocity

dynamic viscosity
• The equation is called stock’s law .

• Stock’s law is valis for spherical particles and laminar flow.


• - if the R<1, using of stock’s law is correct .
• - If the R>1, the appropriate equation for 𝐶𝐷 is selected, and newton’s
equation (terminal velocity) is used to estimate the velocity , then this
velocity is used to check the Reynolds number.
• The process is iterated until a convergent solution is achieved.
• For the turbulent flow , substitute the 𝐶𝐷 =0.4, and the terminal velocity becomes
.

• From the equation and after the derivation


• 𝑚(𝑑𝑣Τ𝑑𝑡 )=mg- (m𝜌g/𝜌𝑠 )-(𝐶𝐷 𝜌𝑣 2 A/2)

• The terminal velocity


• For the spherical particle , the terminal velocity
• Where 𝜌𝑝 = 𝜌𝑠
Example
• Find the settling velocity(Vs) for sand particles with a diameter of 0.02
mm. 𝜌𝑠 = 2650 Kg/m3, μ=1.002*10^-3 N.S/m2 (pa.s) at 20°𝐶 . What
is the settling velocity for particles with d=0.5mm, and water at 20°𝐶 (
Tabulated)=998.2 kg/m^3.
• Solution:
For the particles with diameter=0.02mm
• this a laminar flow
• For the particles with diameter=0.5mm

• this translation

The ideal sedimentation basin
• The ideal sedimentation basin assume the following for the removal
discrete particles:
1- type 1 settling
2- four zones in the basin, inlet, outlet, sludge, and settling.
3- even distribution of the flow leaving the settling zone.
4-even distribution of flow leaving the settling zone
5- uniform distribution of particles through the depth of the inlet zone
6- particles that enter the sludge zone remain there and particles enter
the outlet zone are not removed from the water
Zones can be seen most easily in a rectangular sedimentation basin, such as the one
shown below:
• Sedimentation tanks Based on shape
• a. Circular tank
• b. Rectangular tank
• c. Hopper bottom tank
• Detention time= H/𝑉0 …………(1)
• Also
• T=L/V……………(2)
• V(horizontal velocity)=Q/(H*W) from( flow =area*velocity)
• Combined the equation (1) and(2) to eliminate V
• t= L/(Q/HW)=LHW/Q=V/Q

• 𝑉0 =Q/L.W
• 𝑉0 : over flow rate= settling velocity of the smallest particles size that is
100% removed
Circular tank

• Circular settling Basin


• The fraction removed 𝑅2 of particle 𝑃2 smaller than the particle 𝑃0

• 𝑅2 = 𝐻2 /𝐻1 = 𝑉2 / 𝑉1
The idea basin theory assume the following:
1- the settling is type 1 settling= Discrete particles.
2- even distribution of flow entering the basin.
3- even distribution of flow leaving the basin
4- there are 3 zones in the basin>
a- inlet zone
b- outlet zone
c- sludge zone
• 5- there is a uniform distribution of particles throughout the depth of
the entrance zone.
• 6- particles that enter the sludge zone remain there and particles that
enter the outlet zone are removed.
• The important considerations in sedimentation basin design are;
• 1- Basin Geometry
• 2- SOR(surface over flow rate)
• 3- Detention Time
• 4- Inlet and Outlet zone
• 5- sludge collection and removed system
Geometric of sedimentation Basin
• -Rectangular :
W:L Ratio from 2:1 to 3:1
• -Circular :
Central feed or peripheral feed, but central feed is common.
Simple sludge collection equipment
• - square :
Typically center feed type
Simple sludge collection equipment
*Inlet zone or influent structure*
Purpose:
- Distribute the flow across the sedimentation basin.
- Dissipates the incoming velocity
- In rectangular basin influent structure(Baffle and Diffusion wall)
• - In circular Basin influent structure for center feed circular basin , the
influent structure consists of metal skirt that is surrounded the inlet
pipe.
*outlet zone or effluent structure)
• - over flow weirs and lander troughs have been used for outlet
control.

• V notch or submerged orifice weir plates are commonly used.

• The length of weir required is determined by the weir flow rate or


weir loading rate (𝑚3 /m.d)= Q/length of weir
