Question: Consider a back - mix reactor which has a square plan view that is 7 feet by 7 feet, has a water depth of 8

Consider a back-mix reactor which has a square plan view that is 7 feet by 7 feet, has a water depth of85
feet, and a freeboard of 2.5 feet. The detention time in the reactor is 45 seconds. The power of the miver
motor is 25 horsepower. The temperature of the water is 40F. The efficiency of the mixing is 65% and the
efficiency of the electric motor is 85%.
a) Determine input power from the mixer into the water in horsepower (hp).
b) Determine input power from the mixer into the water in lbf-fts.
c) Determine the volume of water AA in the reactor in cubic feet (ft3).
d) Determine the flow Q through the reactor in cubic feet per second (cfs).
e) Determine the flow Q through the reactor in million gallons per day (mgd).(40F Dyray
f) Determine the velocity gradient G in sec-1
