As a process engineer, you are designing a new drinking water treatment plan using conventional treatment process including Two Rapid Mixers as follows: The design flow is 50 million gallons per day (MGD) (1 Gallon = 3.785 L m³ = 1000 L). The average temperature of water is 5°C with a dynamic viscosity, μ = 1.519 x 10-3 Pa.Sec In each rapid mixer with a square shape, detention time, e = 1 min, wat depth H = 13 ft, and power input P = 1.5 kw (1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 KW = 1,000 The equivalent diameter, TE for each rapid mixer is _____ m.
