You are designing a sedimentation basin following Type I settling. Your circular tank must be \( 20 \mathrm{~m} \) in diameter. You can assume the following: - Flow rate \( =6,700 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \) day - Spherical particles - Particle density \( =1.002 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} \) - Pure water density \( =1.000 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} \) - Drag coefficient \( =120 \) - Kinematic viscosity \( =0.855 \mathrm{~cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s} \) A. Determine the settling velocity of the particles \( (\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}) \). B. Determine the maximum diameter of the particles that will be \( 100 \% \) removed under these conditions (cm). A. \( .0247 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec} \) B. \( .028 \mathrm{~cm} \)
