24/12 = 2

0.785 x 2 x 2 = 3.14 ft2

100

A map with a scale of 0.875" = 100' indicates that manhole #1 is 11.20" from manhole #2.

Determine the actual distance between manholes.  

What is: 1,280'

100

Determine velocity in ft/sec if flow through a 10" pipe is 722 GPM. 

100

Standardized safety practices of lockout/tagout are used to disable _____ to prevent ______ during maintenance activities.  

What is:  

         Machinery or Equipment

         Accidental Release of Hazardous Energy


100

Calculated by subtracting the Base Flow from the Total Metered Flow during dry weather.  

What is Infiltration? 


200

Find the total head, in feet, for a pump with a total static head of 19 ft and a head loss of 3.7 ft.

What is 22.7'?  

     Total Head = Static Head + Losses

     Total Head = 19 ft + 3.7 ft

     Total Head = 22.7 ft

200

 

200

Most commonly used to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy in a lift station.  

What is:  An Electric Motor?

200

Most often the first indication that something is wrong with the collection system. 

What is Customer Complaints?

300

Determine flow to a treatment plant in MGD if a 24" sewer line is flowing half-full at a velocity of 1.9 ft/sec.  

What is = 1.92 MGD

300

This can help identify wastewater facilities/operations that may be at risk during natural/human caused disasters.


What is B?

     Vulnerability Assessement

300

Determine the flow velocity in ft/sec if a ball is dropped in a manhole and observed in a manhole 500' downstream 2 minutes & 18 seconds later.  

What is 3.62 ft/sec.  

300

Two distinct parts in a magnetic starter. 

What is: 

     Contacts

     Overload Protection  

300

A mixture of sand, cement, and water for rehabilitation purposes.  

What is shotcrete?

400

The wastewater that flows out of a sanitary sewer or lift station as a result of the flow exceeding the hydraulic capacity of the sewer, or 

A discharge of wastewater from a location not authorized by an NPDES permit.  

What is SSO?

400

A pump output is 625 GPM against a total dynamic head of 211' and the pump is 71% efficient, determine the brake HP. 

Assume the fluid being pumped has a specific gravity of 1.12.

The term best describing the gradual decomposition of a material by chemical action caused by an electrochemical reaction.  

What is Corrosion?

400

Term used to measure and report progress toward achieving goals and objectives.  

What are Performance Indicators?

500

The backbone for the hydraulic analysis phase of a collection system evaluation.  

What is Flow Monitoring?

500

Determine the number if 5% of it is 52.  

What is 1,040?

500

250' of an 8" - collection main needs to be flushed. Determine how long it will it take to flush the line at 25 GPM.
