Assume that the water temperature is 10°C and the depth of the settling tank is 3.0 m. Calcium carbonate precipitates with a relative density of 1.20 and diameter of 0.10 mm to be removed in a settling tank after softening treatment. Assume discrete particle settling. At 10°C the density and viscosity of water are 999.77 kg/m3 and 1.308x10-3 kg/m. s.
a. Calculate the theoretical settling velocity (cm/s), tank loading (m3 /m2 /d) and detention time (h) required for the removal.
b. How will the settling velocity change, if the viscosity, particle diameter, and the relative density increases by 10%? How will the settling velocity change if the water temperature is 25 oC instead of 10 oC? Vary only one parameter at a time.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
