PROJECT: ABACA

 MINI  HYDRO  POWER  PLANT  PROJECT

LOCATION: LIPUGA,  ALFONSO  CASTANEDA,  NUEVA  VIZCAYA

DESIGN  OF  DESANDER

Q (DISCHARGE)= 4.00 m 3 /sec
USING  THE  FORMULA  FROM  LINSLEY-­‐FRANZINI  BOOK
V S1=Q/BL
V S = Settling  Velocity,  m/sec  (unfactored)
V S1= 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  2 nd  Ed.)
FOR  ANALYSIS  FACTOR  THE  VELOCITY  FACTOR  BY  85%
Dp particle  Diameter,mm 0.3000
VS Settling  Velocity,  m/sec  (unfactored) 0.0300
V S1 Settling  Velocity,  m/sec  (factored) 0.0255
Q Discharge,  cu.m/sec 4.0000
ASSUME  THAT  THE  BASE  OF  DESANDER  IS  = 5 meters
FROM  THE  FORMULA V S1=Q/BL
THE  LENGTH  OF  DESANDER  = 31.37 meters
EFFECTIVE  LENGTH= 33.37 meters
EFFECTIVE  HEIGHT  = 2.00 meters
LENGHT  OF  GRADUAL  EXPASION  AT  THE  INLET  (wall  will  make  an  angle  of  15  degrees
                     parallel  to  flow  of  water)
LENGHT  OF  TRANSITION   6.00 meters
DEPTH  OF  SILT  DEPOSIT  CHAMBER   2.5 meters
SLOPING  TOWARDS  FLUSHING
GATE  CHANNEL
LENGHT  OF  TRANSITION  AT  THE  OUTLET(INLET  OF  HEADRACE) 4.50 meters
