Consider a bar screen with an approach flow velocity of 0.5 m/s and velocity through bar screen of 0.8 m/s. The open area for the flow to pass through the screen is 0.15 m² The head loss coefficient for a clean and clogged bar screens is 0.65 and 0.85 respectively. Using appropriate formulas, determine the built-up head loss through the bar screen with no clogging and 65% of the flow blocked due to accumulation of coarse solids. Draw a figure and explain which principles of hydraulics have been used in the calculations
