The most widely used pump for lifting sewage is
(1) Centrifugal pump: (i) Centrifugal pumps are most commonly used for pumping sewage, because these pumps can be easily installed in pits and sumps, and can easily transport the suspended matter present in the sewage.

Afive day B.O.D. at 15°C of the sewage of a town is 100 kg/day. If the 5 day B.O.D. per head at 15°C for standard sewage is 0.1 kg/day, the population equivalent is
The five-day BOD5 per capita of standard sewage is 0.1 kg/day. In this case, the five-day BOD5 of the sewage of the town is 100 kg/day. Therefore, the population equivalent is 1000.

See lessThe density of population over 40 hectares is 250/hectare. If water supply demand per day is 200 litres and sewage discharge is 80% of water supply, the sewage flow in sewers of separate system, is
Therefore, the sewage discharge is 0.8*2000000 = 1600000 litres per day. The sewage flow in sewers of separate system is 1600000/86400 = 0.05552 cumec. Here is a brief explanation of each option: Option A: 0.05552 cumec.

The Chezy's constant C in the formula V = C rs depends upon
Where f = friction factor, L = length of pipe, v = flow velocity, and d = diameter of pipe. Chezy's constant is inversely proportional to the square root of the friction factor.

See lessWhich one of the following gases is most significant as air pollutant
The correct answer is Sulphur dioxide (SO2). Please Note: We may get confused between the Ozone and Sulfur dioxide (SO2). Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an atmospheric pollutant. Whereas the Ozone is not the atmospheric pullutant but it's formed by chemical interactions.
