Determine the dimensions of a rapid-mixing basin to process 3.0 MGD of water. The basin will be square and the depth is assumed to be 1.5 times the width. Use a detention time of 30 s and velocity gradient of 750 fps/ft. The average minimum sustained temperature is 40∘F and the absolute viscosity is 3.229 × 10−5 lb⋅s/ft2. Two rapid-mixing basins will be constructed, each having the capacity to process the entire flow. Determine the following: a) Dimensions of L, W, and D (ft). b) Power input (hp)
