A 0.80 m deep bed of sand filter (length 4m and width 3m) is made of uniform particles (diameter = 0.40 mm, specific gravity =2.65, shape factor =0.85) with bed porosity of 0.4. The bed has to be backwashed at a flow rate of 3.60 m3/min . During backwashing, if the terminal settling velocity of sand particles is 0.05 m/s, the expanded bed depth (in m, round off to 2 decimal places) is1.2075
