The detention time should be 60 seconds with a velocity

Reference no: EM13540184

A circular rapid-mix basin with stator blades is to be designed totreat 2.0 million gallons of water per day. The detention time should be 60 seconds with a velocity gradient of 900s-1. The minimum teperature anticipated is 60 deg. F andthe absolute viscosity (μ) is 2.359 x 10^-5 lb*s/ft2. Determine the diameter (ft) if two rapid-mixbasins are operating in parallel with a depth of 10 feet. Also calculate the power input to the basin (HP). 1 HP = 550 ft*lb/sec.
