A settling tank for municipal water supply is 2 m deep, and water flows through continuously at 0.14 m/s. The incoming flow contains sediment (SG = 2.2) with an average particle diameter of 102 microns. Assume a low- 24 Reynolds number flow with Cp = Re 9. Estimate the drag coefficient for the sediment 10. Estimate the minimum length of the tank (in metres) which will ensure that all sediments will fall to the bottom
