A mixture with 2 liquids flows to a gravity settler with a square base, at 133.92 m3/hr. Calculate the height (in m) of the heavy liquid overflow given the following: The height of tank is half the lenght of one side of the base; the top quarter of the tank is for the vapor; and settling time is 29 mins. Assume that the densities of the light and heavy liquid in the mixture are 47.9 and 114.1 lbm/ft3, respectively. Show in the solution the volume of tank, height of liquid mixture, lenght of one side of the base and interface height). Draw an illustration.
