This set of Environmental Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Hydraulic Elements of Circular Sewers”.
1. Which of the following is incorrect regarding circular sewer?
a) It is easily manufactured
b) It offers more opportunities for deposits
c) It is the most economical section
d) It has uniform curvature
View Answer
Explanation: The circular section has uniform curvature, so it offers less opportunities for deposits.
2. A circular section of sewer gives _______ area for a given perimeter.
a) Small
b) Large
c) Minimum
d) Maximum
View Answer
Explanation: A circular section of sewer gives a maximum area for a given perimeter and give the greatest hydraulic mean depth when running full or half.
3. What is the wetted perimeter of a circular section of sewer?
a) (22/7) *D2
b) (22/7) *D
c) (22/7) *D2
d) (22/7)2 *D
View Answer
Explanation: The wetted perimeter of a circular section of sewer running full is (22/7) *D where D is the internal diameter of circular sewer.
4. The hydraulic mean depth of a circular section running full is
a) `D
b) D/2
c) D2
d) D/4
View Answer
Explanation: The hydraulic mean depth, R = Area of cross section / Wetted perimeter
= ((22/7) *D2/4) / (22/7) *D
= D/4.
5. The proportional depth of a circular sewer running partially half is
a) (1-cosK/2)
b) (1/2) * (1-sinK/2)
c) (1/2) * (1-cosK/2)
d) (1-cosK/2)2
View Answer
Explanation: Depth of flow d = (D/2) * (1-cosK/2)
Proportional depth = Depth of flow d / Diameter of section D = (D/2) * (1-cosK/2) / D
= (1/2) * (1-cosK/2).
6. The proportional perimeter of a circular sewer running partially half where K is the central angle subtended at a circular section of sewer is
a) K/360o
b) K/90o
c) K/270o
d) K/180o
View Answer
Explanation: Proportional perimeter of a circular sewer running partially half =
(22/7) *D*K/360o / ((22/7) *D) = K/360o.
7. The diameter of circular sewer is 0.2m. The desired depth of flow is
a) 2/3 of the circular section of sewer
b) 1/3 of the circular section of sewer
c) 1/2 of the circular section of sewer
d) 1/4 of the circular section of sewer
View Answer
Explanation: When the diameter of the sewer is up to 0.4m, they are designed to flow at 1/2 depth.
8. The diameter of a circular sewer is 0.8m. The desired depth of flow is
a) 2/3 of the circular section of sewer
b) 1/3 of the circular section of sewer
c) 1/2 of the circular section of sewer
d) 1/4 of the circular section of sewer
View Answer
Explanation: When the diameter of the sewer is between 0.4m and 0.8m, they are designed to flow at 2/3 depth.
9. A circular sewer having 0.4m diameter is flowing with velocity 2m/Sec. If the gradient of sewer is 1 in 90. Find the value of Chezy’s coefficient?
a) 10
b) 30
c) 60
d) 40
View Answer
Explanation: Hydraulic mean depth, R= D/4 = 0.4/4 = 0.1m
Slope of sewer S = 1/100, velocity V = 1m/Sec
According to Chezy’s formula, V = C (RS) 1/2 = C* (0.1/90) 1/2 = C/30
C = V*30 = 2*30 = 60.
