| Abstract |
The report was undertaken to study means of increasing the flow rate in combined sewers. Two model open channel configurations (trapezoidal and rectangular) and three water soluble polymers (Polyox Coagulant, Polyox WSR-301, and Separan AP-30) were used to experimentally determine the effects of injecting dilute polymer solutions into open channel water flows. For all test cases, injection of the three polymer additives produced flow characteristic changes reflected as either a water surface level decrease at constant flow rates or a flow rate increase at constant static heads. In addition, two flumes (Parshall and Leopold-Lagco) and two model side channel spillways (90 degree V-notch weir and sharp-crested rectangular weir) were used to determine experimentally the effects of polymer additives on the flow measuring characteristics of energy dissipators. |
