Mechanical Design of Rapid Mixer for WTP

1) Flash Mixer:
Design Capacity of F.M. = 0.085 m³/sec (as per Hydraulic design).
Dimension of F.M. as per Hydraulic design = Dia 1.30 m x 3.00 m SWD.
Free Board = 0.50 m.
Therefore, Volume provided, V = 3.97 m³.
Round off Volume = 4.0 m³.

1.1) Power Requirement:


Detention time as per Hydraulic design = 45 seconds.
Therefore, velocity gradient for above D.T. shall be = 405/sec (Ref. IS 7090: 2001)
The power shall be worked out as per formula:
P = G² x µ x Vol
P = Power in watts,
µ= coefficient of Viscosity = 0.89 x 10̄³ N-s/m2
G = velocity gradient = 405 /sec (> 300, hence, Okay).
P = 0.89 x 10̄³ x 405² x 4.0
Or, P = 583.92 Watts.
Round off, P = 584 W.

Check1: As per IS 7090:2001,


Watt/Volume of FM = 584/4 = 146 is >133, hence, it is Okay.

Check 2: As per IS 7090:2001,


Power W / flow rate in m3 per hr.
Or, = 584 W/(0.085 m³/sec x 3600 sec) = 1.90 is > 1.60, hence, Okay.

1.2) Sizing of Flat Blades (Vane Type) of Flash Mixer


Diameter of impeller d = 0.40 x tank diameter (as per manual between 0.20 to 0.40)
Consider factor = 0.40.
Or, d = 0.40 x 1.30 = 0.520 m.
Consider RPM of shaft n = 150
Tip velocity V = 2 x 3.14 x (0.520/2) x (150/60) = 4.082 m/sec (=> 3.0 m/sec, is Okay).
Vr = Relative velocity of blade = 0.75 x V
Vr = 0.75 x 4.082 = 3.0615 m/sec.
Area of blades = Ap shall be worked out.
P = 1/2 X Cd X p X Ap X Vr³
P = power in watts,
Cd = coefficient of Drag of Paddle.
584 = 0.50 x 1.80 x 1000 x Ap x (3.0615)³
Total Ap = 0.0226 m².
Number of Blades = 2 nos.
Area per blade = 0.0226/2 = 0.0113 m².
Provide 2 nos flat blades of size 200 L x 60 mm Ht x 5 mm thickness.
Material of Construction of Shaft and Blade = SS 304.
Diameter of Shaft = Solid shaft as per gear box.
Approx Length of shaft in water = 2/3 x 3.00 m SWD = 2.0 m.
Provide rounded off Length = 1.40 m (1400mm).
Distance of paddles from bottom of F.M. Tank = 0.520 m (one Impeller diameter).

(Paddles of F.M.)

Check Reynolds number (Nr) for turbulent flow in Flash Mixer:


Nr = d2 n ρ/ µ
Or, Nr = ((0.520)2 x 150 x 1000)/ 0.89 x 10̄³
Or, Nr = 45573 > 10000, hence Okay.

1.3) Drive of Flash Mixer:


Torque in shaft is given by;
P = 2 x π x n x T / 60, where n is rps.
Or, T = (P x 60) / (2 x π x n)
= (584 x 60) / (2 x π x 150) = 37.19 N-m. Round off = 38 N-m.
The Flash Mixer will be continuous duty with moderate shock load. The Thermal service factor
for 40 deg ambient temp considered as 1.5,
the equivalent output Torque = 1.5 x 38 = 57 N-m.
Consider efficiency of reduction gear box = 75 % (as per mfgr).
So, Design Torque = 57 / 0.75 = 76 N-m.
Motor and gear shall be directly rigidly coupled.
Single reduction Gear Ratio = 1440 / 150 = 9.6
