A water treatment plant is required to process 28800 m³/d of raw water (density = 1000 kg/m³, kinematic viscosity = 10–6 m²/s). The rapid mixing tank imparts a velocity gradient of 900s–1 to blend 35 mg/l of alum with the flow for a detention time of 2 minutes. The power input (W) required for rapid mixing is
-
- 32.4
- 36
- 324
- 32400
Correct Option: D
Velocity gradient,
G = √ | ||
μv |
∴ P = G² μn
= 900² × (10-6 × 1000) × | = 32400 w | |
