i need help with this question
A flocculation basin is to be used for treating a flow of 20,000 m/d. The flocculator has a 4-stage basin, with a 10 min detention time in each stage. The basin has a width of 12 m, and total length is three times the basin depth. The average velocity gradient is 50 s', with a variation of velocity gradient between each stage to be 20% of average velocity gradient. You are asked to determine the power requirement for motors used in this flocculator. Temperature of water is 20 °C. Dynamic viscosity of water (20 °C) is 1.002x10 N-s/m²
