Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

Question: A sewage treatment plant for a town with 120000 population and water average temperature of 20 °C should be designed. You are asked to design a coagulation/rapid mixer and a flocculation tank with horizontal shaft paddle. The jar tests suggest average G-value of 30 (m/s)/m, minimum water residence time of 1500 seconds and GT value from 55000 to 90000. The flocculation tank should include 3 compartments with similar compartments' geometry aspects separated using baffles partitions. The width of each flocculation tank should not exceed 7 meters due to some constraints highlighted by the project's mechanical engineers about the maximum length of each shaft. Determine: 1- The volume and dimension and power requirement of the cylindrical rapid mixer 2- The flocculation tank dimension 3- Required power for each flocculation mixer 4- The paddle wheel dimension 5- Rotational speed of each mixers (Check if the speeds are acceptable) 6- Baffle size and distribution 7- Write about any…
