 Fluid Flows
1.Classification Based on Variation with time
2. Classification Based on Variation with space
 Flow Type & Examples
A steady flow can be uniform or non-uniform and
similarly an unsteady flow can also be uniform or
non-uniform.
For steady flow discharge is constant with time and
for a uniform flow the area of cross section of the
fluid flow flow is constant through the flow path.

22. 2.5 INTAKE STRUCTURE
 The raw water required for any water supply
scheme is withdrawn from a surface source like
river, reservoir, lake or canal, or from underground
source like well or spring.
 When the withdrawal of water is from surface
source, a constriction called intake structure is
provided to collect fluctuating levels, and discharge
it into pipe.
 Intake structure mainly consist of:
1) Conduit with protective works,
2) Screens at open ends
3) Gates and valves to regulate the flow, and
22

CSCOE,AURANGABAD

23. 2.5.1 FACTORS GOVERNING THE
LOCATION OF INTAKE
 It should be near the treatment plant to cut down the cost
of conveyance.
 It should be located in the comparatively pure zone of
water source to reduce the load on treatment work.
 It should not be located on the downstream side of the
sewage disposal.
 It should not be located on curves.
 It should be located at such a site from where it can draw
water even during driest period of year.
 It should be away from navigation channels as it may
admit raw water polluted by discharge of wastes by
ships.23

54.  Mixing
In order to cause the complete dispersion of the
added coagulant into the entire mass of water,
mixing devices are required.
The violent agitation of water can be achieved by
using mixing devices like compressed air,
centrifugal pumps and mixing basins.

CSCOE,AURANGABAD57
 Mixing basin with mechanical devices

58.  Flocculation
In colloid chemistry, flocculation refers to the process
by which fine particulates are caused to clump together
into a floc. The floc may then float to the top of the liquid
(creaming), settle to the bottom of the liquid
(sedimentation), or be readily filtered from the liquid.

After flocculation water is admitted into basins called
clarifiers or settling basins.
Water is detained in a such tank for a detention
generated under flocculation, settles down in the
form of sludge
The clear water taken out through outlet
arrangements and generally admitted to filtration
tanks for further purification.

66. 2.15 FILTRATION
 Filtration is the process of separating suspended solid
matter from a liquid, by causing the latter to pass
through the pores of some substance, called a filter.
The liquid which has passed through the filter is called
the filtrate.
 Filtration is a process of removing particulate and
bacterial impurities which could not be removed in
earlier processes, from water by passing it through a
porous medium.
 It is an important stage in the purification of water.
