Sediment Removal Efficiency of Vortex Chamber Type Sediment Extractor
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 128, Issue 12
Abstract
Experimental results on sediment removal efficiency of vortex chamber type sediment extractors are reported. A geometric configuration of the extractor is identified that is able to remove even the fine sediment from flow with high efficiency. For the purpose of analysis, the experimental data of present study are compiled with the data from other laboratories and the field that were collected previously by other investigators. Since the existing relations are not found to produce satisfactory results, a new relationship is developed for determination of the sediment removal efficiency of the vortex chamber type sediment extractors.
