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 the Stokes' law. Given: density of the particles = 2.5g/cm³; density of water = 1 g/cm³; dynamic viscosity of water = 0.01 g/(cm.s); gravitational acceleration = 980 cm/s2. If incoming water contains particles of diameter 25 µm (spherical and uniform), the removal efficiency of these particles is
