    The document discusses designing a circular sewer pipe given an average discharge of 40 liters/second and sewage velocity of 1.5 m/sec. It is calculated that the maximum discharge is 120 liters/second or 0.12 cubic meters/second. Using the formula that discharge equals area times velocity, the cross-sectional area is calculated as 0.12 square meters. With the area of a circle formula, the diameter is calculated as 0.39 meters or 40 centimeters.

    Take into consideration that sewer pipe could have section in various shapes.

    Circular sewer pipe has circular section.

    Rectangular sewer pipe has rectangular section.

    Elliptical sewer pipe has elliptical section.

    Egg shaped sewer pipe has section and shape like egg.

    Basket handle sewer pipe has section and shape like basket handle.

    Horse shoe sewer pipe has section like horse shoe.

    These are basically the types of sewer pipes, as per the shapes and sections

    Illustration – It’s requested to design a circular sewer pipe with average discharge equal to 40
    litres/second. Also, sewage velocity is 1.5 m/sec.

    Design: Find out diameter of pipe.

    Maximum flow = Average discharge x 2 or 3 [The average flow is multiplied with multiplying
    factor (2 or 3) in order to convert average discharge into maximum discharge]

    Maximum flow = 40 x 3 = 120 litres/second

    Converting litres into m3

    Maximum flow = 0.12 m3/second

    Maximum flow = 0.12 cumec

    With the flow, the specified sewer pipe will flow up to 2/3 and it is required to design the sewer
    pipe for full flow.

    Full flow = 0.12 x 1.5 = 0.18 cumec

    Discharge (Q) = Cross-section area (A) x Velocity (V)

    A = Q/V

    A = 0.18/1.5 = 0.12 m2

    Circle area = πD2/4

    0.12 = πD2/4

    (0.12 x 4)/π = (πD2/4 x 4)/π

    D2 = 0.1527887454
    D = 0.39088 m or 40 cm
