Seventh Semester B.E. Degree Examination, Dew4?ver?T/Jan.2020
Time: 3 hrs. Max. Marks: 80
Note: 1. Answer any FIVE full questions, choosing ONE full question from each !nodule.
2. Assume any suitable missing data.
Module-I
1 a. Explain briefly the different types of sewerage system. (06 Marks)
b. Explain the various factors affecting the dry weather flow. (04 Marks)
c. The drainage area of one sector of a town is 20 hectares. The classification of the surface of
this area is as follows :
% Total surface area Type of surface Run ? off coefficient
25 Hard pavements 0.85
25 Roof surface 0.80
15 Unpaved street 0.30
25 Gardens and Lawns 0.15
10 Wooded area 0.10
If the time of concentration for the area is 30 minutes. Find the maximum run off. Use the
following formula for intensity of rainfall R = 900/(t + 60). (06 Marks)
OR
2 a. Briefly explain the essential requirements of a good sewer material. (04 Marks)
b. Explain with a neat sketch, working of an "oxidation pond". (06 Marks)
c. Explain with a neat sketch, construction and working of a manhole. (06 Marks)
Module-2
3 a. Briefly explain self cleaning velocity and non scouring velocity. (04 Marks)
b. State the hydraulic formulas for velocity which are commonly adopted in the design of
sewers. Explain any one in brief. (06 Marks)
c. A stone ? ware sewer having 30cm in diameter is laid at a gradient of 1 in 100 use N = 0.013
in Manning's formula. Calculate the velocity, discharge and Chezy's co-efficient when the
sewer is running full. (06 Marks)
OR
4 a. Explain the phenomenon of self? purification of natural streams subjected to pollution with
the help of oxygen ? sag curve indicating the salient features. (10 Marks)
b. The sewage of a town is to be discharged into a river. The quantity of sewage produced per
day is 8 million liters and its BOD is 250 mg/C. If the discharge in the river is 200 f/s and if
its BOD is 6mg/C, find the B.O.D of the diluted water. (06 Marks)
Module-3
5 a. Write the flow diagram employed to treat municipal waste water and indicate the importance
of each treatment unit. (08 Marks)
b. With a neat sketch, explain the working of a grit chamber and skimming tank. (08 Marks)
