This is a diagram meant to help explain the calculation of the flow area used as A.in for the flow expansion coefficient and in the calculation of the head loss through the large and small scale mixing orifices.

This is a powerpoint that references many of the equations used to design the rapid mix tube system. The most important components are the expansion loss equations presented in the powerpoint lecture.

This is a schematic of the rapid mix tube with labels signifying the different functional mixing regions of the tube.  
JPEG File HeadLoss v PlantFlow Plot.jpg 30 kB user-1194e Nov 30, 2009 08:05

This is a plot of the head loss experienced in the rapid mix tube system as a function of varying flow rates through the tube and plant.

This is a photo of the full rapid mix tube when fully constructed. The ends of the tube will protrude into the entrance tank and flow out into the flocculator.

This is a photo of the small scale mixing orifice constructed for the full-scale model. It was built from a bucket lid with 5/8" holes drilled into it for the orifices.
