2-1. Your boss has assigned you the job of designing a rapid-mix tank for the new water
treatment plant for the town of Waffle. The design flow rate is 0.050m3s. The average
water temperature is 8C. The following design assumptions for a rapid-mix tank have been
made:
Number of tanks=1(with one backup)
Tank configuration: circular with liquid depth =1.0m
Detention time =5s
Velocity gradient =750s-1
Impeller type: turbine, 6 flat blades, Np=3.6
Available impeller diameters: 0.25,0.50, and 1.0m
Assume B=(13)H
Design the rapid-mix system by providing the following:
Water power input in kW
Tank dimensions in m
Diameter of the impeller in m
Rotational speed of impeller in rpm
