08 02 2018 Intake Design

The document provides design specifications for an intake including a design discharge of 165 cubic meters per second and total gross discharge of 189.75 cubic meters per second. Based on the given parameters, the final intake dimensions are calculated to be 10 meters deep, with a total width of 29 meters and each of the 3 openings being 10 meters wide. The calculated velocity of 0.791 meters per second is below the maximum permissible velocity of 1 meter per second. The factor of safety of 1.581 is also acceptable. A submergence of at least 6 meters is required to ensure vortex-free inflow based on the given velocity, depth, and empirical formulas.

INTAKE DESIGN

Input Data:

Decsription Value Units Remarks


Design Discharge (qdesign) = 165 m3/sec
Extra Discharge for Flushing(%) = 15%
Gross Discharge (Qgross) = 189.75 m3/sec
Coefficient of Discharge (Cd) = 0.8
Maximum Permissible Velocity (Vmax) = 1 m/sec
Assume Clogging of Intake = 20 %
No. of opening = 3 Nos.
Factor of Safety = 1.2
Ai = Area of proposed Opening From Which the design discharge passes.
Vi = Velocity through the Opening.
g = Acceleration Due to Gravity.
Let,
Wi = Width of Intake Opening
Di = Depth of Intake Opening

Let,
Di = Depth Of Opening = 10.00 m
Therefore,
Wi = Qgross/(Di*Cd*Vi)
or, Wi = 23.719 m
For 20% Clogging Case,
Wi = 28.463 m
For Each Opening,
Wi = 9.488 m
Therefore,
Final Dimension of Intake:
Depth = 10.00 m
Total Width = 29.0 m
Width of each opening = 10.0 m
Nos. of Opening = 3

Check For Velocity:


Q = 189.75
D = 10
W = 30.000
V = Q/(W*D*Cd)
= 0.791 Should Be Less than Maximum Permissible Velocity.
OK

Calculation of Factor of Safety:

Required Area for flow of design discharge = 189.75


Calculated and Provided Area = 300

There Fore,
Factor of Safety: = Provided Area / Required Area
= 1.581
OK
Design Discharge, Qd = 165 m3/sec
Extra Discharge for flushing = 15%
Total Discharge through Intake, Q = 189.75 m3/sec

Velocity Through Intake, V = 1 m/sec


a = 0.725 for assymetrical inflow
Depth of Intake, d = 10 m

Based on emperical formula for minimum submergence to ensure vortex-free inflow


Submergence Required, S = a*v*sqrt(d)
= 2.29
= 3m
below the lowest water level

Based on Relative Submergence Criteria


Fraude Number, Fr = 0.10 OK
Relative Submergence Required, S/d > (0.5+0.4Fr)
S/d > 0.54
S/d = 0.3
So, increase Submergence
Submergence Required, S = 6m
S/d = 0.6 OK
