Design a horizontal flow baffle channel flocculator for a treatment plant of 10000 m³/day capacity. The flocculation basin is to be divided into 3 sections of equal volume, each section having constant velocity gradients of 50, 35, 25s-¹, respectively. The total flocculation time is to be 21 min and the water temperature is 15° C. The timber baffles have a roughness coefficient of 0.3. A common wall is shared between the flocculation sedimentation basins, hence the length of the flocculators is fixed at 10m. A depth of 1m is reasonable for horizontal flow flocculators. At 15°C, µ = 1.14*10-3 kg/msec, and p = 1000 kg/m³
