The correct answer is A. Circular.<\/p>\n
A circular cross-section is the most efficient shape for carrying combined flow because it has the least surface area for a given volume. This means that there is less friction between the water and the sewer pipe, which results in less energy loss and a lower head loss.<\/p>\n
A circular cross-section is also the strongest shape for a given amount of material. This means that circular sewers are less likely to collapse under the weight of the soil and the water they carry.<\/p>\n
Egg-shaped, rectangular, and horse shoe-shaped cross-sections are all less efficient than circular cross-sections. They have more surface area for a given volume, which results in more friction and a higher head loss. They are also weaker than circular cross-sections, which makes them more likely to collapse.<\/p>\n
In addition, egg-shaped, rectangular, and horse shoe-shaped cross-sections are more difficult to clean than circular cross-sections. This is because the corners of these shapes create areas where debris can collect. This debris can reduce the flow of water through the sewer and can also create a breeding ground for bacteria.<\/p>\n
For all of these reasons, circular cross-sections are the most suitable for carrying combined flow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
