DESIGN OF SEWERAGE SYSTEM AND APPURTENANCES
1.INTRODUCTION
The sewer pipes are laid below the ground level sloping continuously at sufficiently steeper gradient. It is different from water supply conduit as sewage pipes are designed to flow under gravity only. Also, sewage contains lots of suspended particles which may settle down and clog the system. To avoid the clogging, sufficient velocity known as ‘Self cleansing velocity’ is need to be maintained in the system.
- HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF SEWERS
2.1. Important Formulas for Determining Flow Velocity
Following formulas used to determine flow velocities in sewers:
(i) Manning’s formula: The flow velocity is given by
Where,
R = Hydraulic radius = A/P
A = Cross sectional area of sewer
P = Wetted Perimeter
S = Ground slope
n = manning’s constant
(ii) Chezy’s formula: The flow velocity is given by
Where,
C = Chezy’s constant
2.2. Design Data
Sewage should be designed for maximum hourly discharge and it should be ensured that velocity of flow will always be greater than self-cleansing velocity.
Maximum hourly discharge = 3 × Average daily discharge
Maximum daily discharge = 2 × Average daily discharge
It is assumed that 80% of water supply goes to sewers.
The self-cleansing velocity can be calculated using the Shield’s formula
Where,
G = Specific gravity of particle
dp = Size of particle
K = A constant
R = Hydraulic radius of sewer
n = manning coefficient
2.3. Circular Sewer running Partially Full
When the sewage is running partially full at depth d such that,
Note:
(i) For constant value of manning’s coefficient, the velocity will be maximum when d = 0.81D.
(ii) For constant value of manning’s coefficient, the discharge will be maximum when d = 0.95D.
Equal Degree of Self Cleansing:
For equal degree of self cleansing, the drag force under partial flow should be same as drag force under full flow.
