Conclusion
The Gtheta that compares best to mechanically mixed floculators is the Gtheta calculated from method 2, where the G value is averaged, and this averaged value is multiplied by the residence time of a particle. As suggested in discussions with Monroe, this simplistic definition fails to incorporate the weighted flow average.
