A flocculation tank is to be designed for a total flow rate of 45000 m3/d. The following conditions apply to the design: Water temperature 15 C (viscosity 0.00113 N.s/m2) Basin depth 3.8 m, 4 parallel trains of flocculators (each train receives quarter of the total flow). Each train with 9.2m wide, 12.4 long, and rotating paddles are supported on three parallel horizontal shafts. The rotating speed is 1.6 rpm, the center line of the paddles is 1.5 m from shaft. Each shaft has four paddles, each paddle is 25 cm wide and 8.6 m long. Assuming the velocity of water is 35% of the paddle's velocity and the drag coefficient is 1.9. Determine: The difference in velocity between paddle and water? The useful power input? The detention time? The value of G and Gt?

Water at 15°C (? = 999.1 kg/m3 and ? = 1.138 × 10−3 kg/m·s) is flowing steadily in a 30-m-long and 6-cm-diameter horizontal pipe made of stainless steel at a rate of 10 L/s. Determine (a) the pressure drop, (b) the head loss, and (c) the pumping power requirement to overcome this pressure drop.
A 170-m long pipeline, composed of two pipes connected in series, discharges freely at a point 40 m below the water level at intake. The pipe projects into the reservoir. The first 100 m is 25 cm in diameter, and the remaining 70 m is 15 cm in diameter. Assuming that f=0.05 for both pipes, (a) find the rate of flow. If the junction of the two sizes of pipe is 25 m below the intake water-surface level, find the pressure head just above C and just below C, where C denotes the point of junction. Assume a sudden contraction at C. Use k=0.8 for entrance, 0.24 for sudden contraction and 1.0 for exit. I will downvote the incorrect solution
