As an environmental engineer working for a consulting company you were asked to evaluate an existing water treatment plant for possible upgrade. One of the treatment unit processes you evaluated was the rapid mix tank. You had the following information. Current average water flow rate = 15 x 10' m'/d. Projected flow rate in 20 years = 24 x 10' m'/d. Temperature of water varies from 12 to 20° C. No. of rapid mix tank = 1 Dimension of tank: water depth = 2.1 m, width 2.1 m, length = 2.1 m Tank is not baffled: Mixer is 4-bladed turbine with 45° pitched blade (N, = 1.27) Diameter of impeller = 0.9 m Label on the motor: horsepower of motor = 10 hp (1 hp = 746 watts) rpm of blades 120 rpm (assume a motor efficiency of 80%) Evaluate whether the rapid mix system (1) Is sufficiently designed for current use? If not, provide some remedies. (i) Will the current system be sufficient for the projected flow rate in 20 years? If not, what are some of your suggestions or additions to meet the projected flow?

1. Using the Steam Tables, determine the heat absorbed by the boiler (KW) and Wsf when subcooled water at pressure = 5 Mpaa (subcooled by 64 deg C measured at the boiler inlet), is superheated to 100 degrees SH at the same pressure. Flow rate is at 10 cubic meters per minute. Ans.: a) Qa = b)Wsf= Hint: Use v at compressed water temp. at boiler inlet to convert to mass flow rate. Process is isobaric (Constant Pressure, where Q=m x AH).
b) The high pressure units on a steam plant operate at 10bar (gauge), and the condensate is sub-cooled by 9.5K. If the mass flow rate of condensate is 10 kg/s, use the provided steam tables to determine how much saturated steam at 1.5 bar this condensate could produce. Note it is sufficiently accurate for high pressure condensate, as in this question, to assume that the specific enthalpy is the same as for the saturated liquid at the same temperature.

You are to spray an 80-acre field that will be planted to alfalfa with 32 oz/ac Roundup, 1.5 pints/ac of Treflan, and 17lbs AMS/100 gallon spray. If your sprayer is calibrated to apply 10GPA carrier volume and holds 800-gallons how much AMS do you need to add to your sprayer to condition your water, and how many gallons of Roundup and Treflan do you need to add to your sprayer so that you apply the proper rate?
