Sedimentation basin in a water treatment plant is designed for a flow rate of 0.2 m3/s. The basin is rectangular with a length of 32 m, width of 8 m, and depth of 4 m. Assume that the settling velocity of these particles is governed by Stokes' law. Given: density of the particles = 2.5 g/cm3; density of water = 1 g/cm3; dynamic viscosity of water = 0.01 g/(cm·s); gravitational acceleration = 980 cm/s2. If the incoming water contains particles of diameter 25 μm (spherical and uniform), the removal efficiency of these particles is
