Math Problem Statement
A town has an existing horizontal flow sedimentation tank and it wishes to remove particles that have settling velocities of 0.1 mm/s. The treatment sedimentation tank has the following dimension:
• Depth 3.5 m
• Width 6.5 m
• Length 28 m
Choose an average flow rate for the tank between 5.0 and 5.5 ML/d. a) What percentage of the 0.3 mm/s particle will settle?
