Vertical turbines are to be used for flocculation in a water treatment plant with a design flow rate of 189,270 m³/day. Flocculation is to be designed with two trains and five compartments per train. The total detention time in this process is to be 25 minutes, and the average temperature of the water flowing into the plant is 10°C. The velocity gradient in the first compartment is to be 70 s²¹. Make the following design decisions for the first compartment: a) Determine the dimensions of the compartment. b) Determine the diameter of the impeller. c) Determine the water power required. d) Determine the maximum rotational speed.

The old Hydraulics laboratory in Mechanical Engineering used a roof tank tosupply apparatus with water at a nearly constant head. The water wascollected in an under floor sump, and then pumped back to the roof tankafter the experiment. The flow rate was 10 litre s-1. The tank was 6m abovethe sump, and the length of the pipe route was 15 m. The old 6” pipes arenow heavily corroded (k = 7.5 mm). The old pump has been scrapped.

Pump Horsepower in Brine System. A pump pumps 0.200 ft3/s of brine solution having a density of 1.15 g/cm3 from an open feed tank having a large cross-sectional area. The suction line has an inside diameter of 3.548 in. and the discharge line from the pump a diameter of 2.067 in. The discharge flow goes to an open overhead tank, and the open end of this line is 75 ft above the liquid level in the feed tank. If the friction losses in the piping system are 18.0 ft lbf/lb m, what pressure must the pump develop and what is the horsepower of the pump if the efficiency is 70%? The flow is turbulent.
A flow rate of 3 m'/s of water is available at a height of I 10 m at a project site. Due to losses in the sup- ply line, the head available at the inlet to powerhouse is estimated to be only 101 m of water. The leakage losses in the powerhouse are negligible. Mechanical losses account for 150 kW. Frictional losses in the rotor blades may be taken as 250 kW. The exit velocity of water from the turbines is 4.5 m/s. Calculate the hydraulic, mechanical, and overall efficiencies of the plant. The specific weight of water may be taken as 9810 N/m.
