2. A conventional, rectangular flocculation basin is 38 ft.
wide, 90 ft. long and 16 ft. deep. The flow through the basin
is 24 MGD and the water horsepower input by the reel type paddles
is 15 hp. The dynamic viscosity of water is 2.73 E -5
lb/sec/ft2 at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
a. What is the nominal detention time?
b. What velocity gradient is induced by the reel paddles?
c. What is the GT value?
d. Is the basin properly designed for removal of color and
turbidity? Explain
