Problem.1:Your boss has assigned you the job of designing a rapid-mix tank for the new water
treatment plant for treatment plant for the town of Waffle.The design flow rate is 0.050 m3 /s. The
average water temperature is 8 C. The following design assumptions for a rapid-mix tank have
been made:
 1. Number of tanks 1 (with 1 backup) N= 1
2. Tank configuration: circular with liquid depth_x0001_ 1.0 m d= 1
3. Detention time 5 s t= 5
4. Velocity gradient 750 s 1 G= 750
5. Impeller type: turbine, 6 flat blades,Np 3.6 Np = 3.6
6. Available impeller diameters: 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 0.25 0.5
7. AssumeB_x0001_ (1/3)H
8. Design flow rate is 0.050 m³ /s. Q= 0.05
9. The average water temperature is 8 C T= 8

Design the rapid-mix system by providing the following:

1. Water power input in kW

2. Tank dimensions in m
3. Diameter of the impeller in m
4. Rotational speed of impeller in rpm

Step#01: determine the volume of rapid mixing tank

V= 0.05*5

V= 0.025

Step#02:
Using the radial impeller guidance fromTable 6-5, assumeH /T= 2.0, that isH= 2T
For a round mixing tank
T= ((4*0.25)/(2*π))^(1/3)

T= 0.542018 m

H=2T

H= 1.084035 m

B=1/3*H

B= 0.361345 m
Step#03:
The required input water power can be calculated by using Equation 6-12. Using Table
A-1 in Appendix A and the temperature of the water, find μ =1.307x 10¯³ Pa · s.

μ= 0.001307

p= 183.7969 W

Because the efficiency of transfer of motor power to water power is about 80%, the
motor power should be

P= 83.8/0.8 229.7461 W

Step#04:
Using Table 6-5 , evaluate the different size radial impellers using the geometric ratios.
Below is a comparison of the ratios for the available sizes of radial impellers and the
rapid mix basin dimensions.

Problem.2: Continuing the preparation of the proposal for the Waffle treatment plant ( Prob
design the flocculation tank by providing the following for the first two compartments on

2. TaperedG in three compartments: 60, 50, and 20 sG- 1= (sec¯¹60 50
3. Detention time_x0001_ 30 min t= 30 min
4. Depth_x0001_ 3.5 m d= 3.5 m

Sol:

Step#01:
determine the volume of rapid mixing tank

V= 0.05*30*60 m³

V= 90
 Step#02:
Using the radial impeller guidance fromTable 6-5, assumeH /T= 1.5, that isH= 1.5T
For a round mixing tank

T= ((4*90)/(2*π))^(1/3)

T= 3.8557981 m

H=1.5T

H= 5.7836972 m

B=1/3*H

B= 1.9278991 m

Step#03:
The required input water power can be calculated by using Equation 6
A-1 in Appendix A and the temperature of the water, find μ =1.307x 10¯³ Pa · s.

μ= 0.001307 Pa · s.

At G = 60 sec¯¹

P= 423.468

Because the efficiency of transfer of motor power to water power is about 80%, the
motor power should be
P= 423.4/0.8 529.335 W
 At G = 50 sec¯¹

motor power should be

P= 294.075 W

Because the efficiency of transfer of motor power to water power is about 80%, the
motor power should be

P= 294.07/0.8 367.5938 W

At G = 20 sec¯¹

P= 47.052 W

Because the efficiency of transfer of motor power to water power is about 80%, the

Step#04:
Using Table 6-5 , evaluate the different size radial impellers using the geometric ratios.
Below is a comparison of the ratios for the available sizes of radial impellers and the
rapid mix basin dimensions.

Although the 1.5 m diameter impeller has aD /Tslightly larger than the allowable range,
it is satisfactory in all the other aspects and, therefore, is selected.

Step#05:
The rotational speed is calculated by solvingEquation 6-17 for n:

at P= 529.3 W
