Sewer Hydraulics
Many formulas are used to solve the flow parameters in sewers were discussed in the hydraulic course. The most used formula for sanitary sewers is Manning equation:

Note: Equation 1 is used for calculating the velocity in pipes either flowing full or partially full. Equation 2 same for flow rate.
R = Hydraulic radius (Area/ wetted parameter)S = slope.n = manning coefficient.D = pipe diameter.Q = flow rate.

Note: Equations 3 and 4 are the same as Equation 1, but they are written using the subscript (ƒ) and (P), to indicate flowing full and partially full, respectively:
Manning equation
In sanitary sewers the flow is not constant; consequently the depth of flow is varying as mentioned above. In this case it is difficult to find the hydraulic radius to apply Manning’s equation. For partially full pipe the following relations are applied:

Vp = Vƒ *1.109 = 1.203*1.109= 1.33 m/s
3. Calculate Qƒ:

= 0.2355 m3/s
It is noticed that it is quite long procedure to go through the above calculations for each pipe in the system of large numbers of pipes. The alternative procedure is to use the nomographs of Mannings equation and the partial flow curves.
Example 2Find the diameter of the pipe required to carry a design flow of 0.186 m3/s when flowing partially, d/D = 0.67, slope = 0.4%, n = 0.013 using the nomographs
and partial flow curves. Solution
From partial flow curves:
Start from the Y-axis with 67.0D
d, and draw a
horizontal line until you intersect the Q curve (for n = constant, the dashed line), then draw a vertical line to intersect the X-
axis at .78.0f
QPQ
Extend the horizontal line until it intersects the velocity curve, then draw a vertical line to intersect the X-axis (for n =
constant, the dashed line) at 12.1f
VPV .
Calculate Qƒ : 78.0PQ
fQ = 238.078.0
186.0 m3/s
Use the nomographs for pipes flowing full to find D:
Locate the slope ( 0.004) on the “S” axis.
Locate the manning coefficient “n” ( 0.013) on the “n” axis.
Draw a line connecting “S” and “n” and extended it until it intersects
the Turning Line.
Locate the Qƒ ( 0.238 m3/s) on the “Q” axis.
Draw a line connecting “Qƒ” and the point of intersection on the
Turning Line and find the diameter “D” by reading the value that this
line intersect the D axis at. D = 500 mm = 20”.
find the Velocity “Vƒ” by reading the value that this line intersect the V
axis at. Vƒ = 1.2 m/s.
Calculate Vp = Vƒ * 1.12 = 1.2*1.12= 1.34 m/s.
