Complete the following problems dealing with rapid mix tanks and flocculation basins:1. Design a rapid mix tank for water at 50° F flowing at Q = 4.0 MGD for a typical process train ina drinking water treatment plant. Use a square tank with a depth 1.25 times the width, a designvelocity gradient G = 900 sec−1, and a hydraulic detention time τ = 30 seconds. Specificallydetermine:a. Rapid mix tank dimensions in feet and inches, to the nearest one inch.b. Input water horsepower (hp).c. Impeller rotational speed if a vane-disc impeller is used having a diameter half of the tankwidth and employing six flat blades and a baffled tank.2. Design a flocculation basin for water at 10°C flowing at Q = 49,200 m3/day for a typical processtrain in a drinking water treatment plant. The basin shall be a cross-flow, horizontal-shaft, paddlewheel type with an average velocity gradient of G = 26.7 sec−1, a detention time τ = 45 minutes,and a Gτ value of 50,000 to 100,000. Tapered flocculation shall be…
For what velocity of flow of water in a new, clean 6-inch schedule 40 steel pipe would an energy loss of 20 feet of head occur over a length of 1,000 ft? Compute the volume flow rate at that velocity. Then refigure the velocity using the design value of Ch for steel pipe.
What are the applications of a single acting reciprocating pump and a double acting reciprocating pump?
Please show complete and clear solution. Thank you! A hilltop subdivision takes water from a river 500 ft below it during the night through a pump storage facility. When morning comes, water will be returned to the river with the use of turbines. Entrance and exit pipes both measure 30-in in diameter and both are 2500 ft long and the flow rate is 20,000 gpm. What should be the pumping power required in horsepower if friction loss amounts to 15 ft of water? Assume that the pump is 100% efficient.
