Problem: (Rapid-Mix Basin/ Coagulation Tank)

Design flow rate, Q = 0.50m3/sec
Operating temp = 20oC
Detention time, tD = 40sec
Speed of shaft, ɳ = 120 rpm (≈ 100-120
rpm)
Solution (1)
1. Volume of tank
V = Q x tD = 20m3
Let, square tank = 2.71m x 2.71m x 2.71m
Say, square tank = 2.7m x 2.7m x 3.0m (including free
board)

2. Power required for agitation/ mixing

Say, there are vertical baffles in the tank
Agitation mechanism = ?
Mechanical agitation (Say Turbine)
P = G2μV
= (790sec-1)2 x (2.106 x 10-5 Ib-sec/ft2) x (772.3ft3)
P = 10150.76 ft-Ib/sec = 18.45 hp say, 19hp
3. Impeller diameter D = ?
Say 4-Flat blade vane-disc KL = 71.0 and KT = 6.30
Assume that the flow is turbulent
P = KTɳ3Dt5ɣ/gc
Or Dt = [P gc / KTɳ3ɣ]1/5
Dt = [(10150.76 x 32.17) / (6.30 x 23 x 62.4]1/5
Dt = 2.53 ft say, 2.65ft

Check: Dt/ W = 2.65/8.86 = 0.30, i.e. 30% Ok!

Check for flow (turbulent or laminar = ?)

Find the Reynold No, NR = ɳDt2ɣ/μ
NR = (2.0 x 2.652 x 62.4)/(6.778x10-4)
= 1293018.60 >> 10,000 Ok!

Design is completed !
Solution (2)
1. Volume of tank

2. Power required for agitation/ mixing

Say, there are without vertical baffles in the tank
Agitation mechanism = ?
Mechanical agitation (Say Turbine)
P = G2μV
= (790sec-1)2 x (2.106 x 10-5 Ib-sec/ft2) x (772.3ft3)

3. Impeller diameter D = ?
Say 4-Flat blade vane-disc
KL = 71.0 and KT = 0.75 x 6.30 = 4.725
Assume that the flow is turbulent
P = KTɳ3Dt5ɣ/gc
Or Dt = [P gc / KTɳ3ɣ]1/5
Dt = [(10150.76 x 32.17) / (4.725 x 23 x 62.4]1/5
Dt = 2.68 ft say, 2.70ft

Check: Dt/ W = 2.70/8.86 = 0.30, i.e. 30% Ok!

Check for flow (turbulent or laminar = ?)

Find the Reynold No, NR = ɳDt2ɣ/μ

NR = (2.0 x 2.702 x 62.4)/(6.778x10-4)
= 1342272 >> 10,000 Ok!
Second design is completed !

Solution (3)
 Use pneumatic agitation
1. Volume of tank
V = Q x tD = 20m3
Let, square tank = 2.71m x 2.71m x 2.71m
Say, square tank = 2.7m x 2.7m x 3.0m (including free
board)

2. Power required for agitation/ mixing

Say, there are with vertical baffles in the tank
Agitation mechanism = ?
Mechanical agitation (Say Turbine)
P = G2μV
= (790sec-1)2 x (2.106 x 10-5 Ib-sec/ft2) x (772.3ft3)
P = 10150.76 ft-Ib/sec = 18.45 hp say, 19hp
3. Amount of air required =?
P = 81.5Galog[(h + 34)/34]
Ga = P / 81.5log[(h + 34)/34]
= 10150.76/ 81.5log10[(9.34+34)/34]
= 1182 cfm say, 1200cfm

Third design is completed !
