Question
You have been asked to provide a design for a rapid mix tank at a water treatment plant which has an average water temperature of 60°F. The tank is to have a
detention time (ta = HRT) of 1.5 seconds, a mixing intensity (G) of 1,428/second, and
treats a flow (Q) of 9.4 mgd. Calculate the Motor Power (Pmotor, in HP) required to achieve the desired G value if the transfer efficiency is 80%. Provide your answer to the hundredths place (0.01). Be very careful with units (they need to cancel appropriately) and don't forget to report your answer in HP, not ft-Ib/sec).
