Horizontal shaft paddle wheels are used in a tapered flocculation basin comprised of three compartments. the power input to the paddles progressively decreases through the basin with the first compartment paddle driving with 186 w of power, the second compartment paddle with 30.0 w of power, and the final compartment paddle with 7.50 w of power. each paddle wheel mixes a compartment 4.17 m deep, 3.75 m wide, and 4.17 m long. the normal water temperature is 15 ? c, and average flow rate is 16,000 m3/d.

(a) what is the mixing intensity in each of the three compartments?

(b) if the influent water contains a nearly monodisperse (single-sized) particle size distribution of 20.0 ? m particles with a concentration of 1.8 × 105 particles/ml, what will be the average number of singlet particles in an aggregate leaving the first compartment?

note that viscosity of water is 0.00114 kg/m? s.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
