A rapid mixing tank (length: 3 m, width = 3 m, height = 5 m) uses an impeller capable of generating a shear rate of 50 s^-1 (also known as G value) for coagulation and flocculation purpose. During coagulation and flocculation process, solid particles are formed (~10 wt%). Determine the approximate power consumption in this system.

data available:

water density = 1000 kg/m³, water viscosity =0.001 Pa.s, solid density = 1100 kg/m³.

Mixture density =100/((x_w )+ (100x_w)/) where x_w = solid conc. (wt%).

Mixture viscosity =(1+2.5+14.1²) where = solid volume fraction.
