Abstract:The clear water tank has the dual function of hydraulic regulation and disinfection contact. The improvement of t10 /T is an important means to improve the disinfection efficiency and reduce the disinfector dosage and its by-products. Aiming at a case of clear water tank, the overall modeling is carried out. By numerical simulation method, the influence of main dimensions on t10 /T clear water tank is studied, and the rationality of the design scheme is verified. The result shows that the length-width ratio is the most obvious factor to influence t10 /T, but the trend of increasing is slowing down. The t10 /T can be increased by reducing the number and width of bends and increasing the diameter of influent pipe. The length-width ratio of the clear water tank is 38 and the hydraulic efficiency is 0.54 in a case, which can meet the design requirement of not less than 0.5.
