0  MW  TAFT  HEPP  

LOCATION: TAFT,  EASTERN  SAMAR
DESIGN  OF  DESANDER  
3
Q(DISCHARGE)= 48.00 m /sec
USING  THE  FORMULA  FROM  LINSLEY-­‐FRANZINI  BOOK

VS1=Q/BL
VS= Settling  Velocity,  m/sec  (unfactored)
VS1= Settling  Velocity,  m/sec  (factored)
Q= Discharge,  cu.m/sec
B= Base  Width  of  Basin,  m
L= Length  of  Basin,  m

CONSIDERING  THAT  THE  BASIN  CAN  RETAIN  A  PARTICLE  WITH  A  DIAMETER  OF  0.30mm
REFERENCES  WERE  TAKEN  INTO  CONSIDERATIONS  SO  THAT  THE  0.30mm  PARTICLE  WILL  BE  RETAINED
THE  SETTLING  VELOCITY  OF  PARTICLE  0.30mm  DIAMETER  PARTICLE  IS  0.030  m/sec
(  from  table  15-­‐9  ,  Water  Resources  Eng"g.
 by  Linsley-­‐Franzini  2nd  Ed.)

FOR  ANALYSIS  FACTOR  THE  VELOCITY  FACTOR  BY  85%

Based on ESHA Guide for Normal Conditions
Dp particle  Diameter,mm  (Critical  Sediment  Size  ) 0.3000
VS Settling  Velocity,  m/sec  (unfactored) 0.0300
VS1 Settling  Velocity,  m/sec  (factored) 0.0255
Q Discharge,  cu.m/sec 48.0000

ASSUME  THAT  THE  BASE  OF  DESANDER  IS  = 15 meters

FROM  THE  FORMULA VS1=Q/BL
THE  LENGTH  OF  DESANDER  = 125.49 meters
EFFECTIVE  LENGTH= 127.49 meters
EFFECTIVE  HEIGHT  = 3.60 meters
LENGHT  OF  GRADUAL  EXPASION  AT  THE  INLET  (wall  will  make  an  angle  of  15  degrees
                     parallel  to  flow  of  water)

CHECK  CONDITIONS
The  width  B  has  stay  smaller  than  1/8  times  the  length  L

Check  B<=L/8 L/8  = 15.94 m

OK
B  = 15.00 m

LENGHT  OF  TRANSITION   5.00 meters

DEPTH  OF  SILT  DEPOSIT  CHAMBER  
SLOPING  TOWARDS  FLUSHING 2.00 meters
