What are the operational problems in filtration in water treatment plants

AI Thread Summary
Operational problems in filtration at water treatment plants include issues such as clogging of filters, inadequate backwashing processes, and the management of filter media. Additionally, the variability in water quality can lead to inconsistent filtration performance, requiring constant monitoring and adjustments. Maintenance challenges and the need for regular inspections are also critical to ensure efficient operation. These problems can significantly impact the overall effectiveness of water treatment processes. Understanding these issues is essential for civil engineering students and professionals in the field.

This looks like HW for Civil Engineering; is it?

I imagine whole books are written on that subject.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
