Water requirements miscellaneous

  1. 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
    1. 32.4
    2. 36
    3. 324
    4. 32400
Correct Option: D

Velocity gradient,

G = √
P
μv

∴ P = G² μn
= 900² × (10-6 × 1000) ×
(28800 × 2)
= 32400 w
24 × 60
