The particles created at the conclusion of the rapid mix step associated with the alum addition in problem 2 have an average diameter of 20 µm and specific gravity of 2.0. During flocculation, the size increases to 75 µm, but the more open aggregate structure decreases the specific gravity to 1.9. The water temp is 18 °C. Calculate the settling velocity of both particles. How does the change in particle properties impact the settling velocity? Make sure to check the Reynolds Number.
