141. For normal sludge, the value of sludge index for Indian conditions is 150 to 350
142. When there is no recirculation of sewage, then recirculation factor is 1
143. For the same solid content, if the quantity of sludge with moisture content of 98% is X, then the quantity of sludge with moisture content of 96% will be X/2
144. A pipe which is installed in the house drainage to preserve the water seal of traps is called antisiphonage pipe
145. In the two-pipe system of house plumbing, the pipes required are one soil pipe, one waste pipe and two vent pipes
146. The pipe which is used to carry the discharge from sanitary fittings like bath
rooms, kitchens etc. is called waste pipe

1. head loss will be high
2. cost of pipe will be less
156.Incrustation of the tubewell pipes may result in reduced discharge from tubewell
157. The maximum velocity occurs in an egg shaped sewer when the ratio of depth of flow to vertical diameter is 0.81
158. Shrouding is provided in slotted pipe tubewell
159. If in a test conducted for determining relative stability, the period of incubation at 20°C is t days, the relative stability in % is given by 100[1 -(0.794)ᵗ]
160. Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is getting destroyed owing to its reaction with chlorofluorocarbons
