Based on trial calculation, 1.0 m diameter yields a tip speed of 3.1 'mts. This is> allowable tip speed of 2.7 m/s. Therefore, best available diameter = 1.5 m

i. Check tip speed of 1st compartment impeller Tip Speed= (0.50 rps)(1t)(1.5) = 2.4 m/s This is less than 2.7 m/s so okay. 4-86 Flocculation Tank for Laramie Given: Problem 4-83; 2 tanks; 3 compartments with G = 90 s- 1 , 60 s- 1 , 30 s- 1; G9 = 120,000; length= width= depth; axial flow impeller; impeller diameters available = 1.0 m, 1.8m, 2.4m, Np = 0.40 Solution: a. Based on Ge value and average G for the 3 compartments, calculate the detention time.
