A town is designing a rectangular, 4m deep settling tank for treating surface water intake. The tank will have a flow velocity of 5 cm/s. The untreated water has particles with the following properties: d=0.025 mm and density of 2,650 kg m-3 The settler is placed following a coagulation-flocculation step which is able to do one of the following: a) Triple the diameter of the particles but have no impact on the particle density. b) Triple the density of the particles but have no impact on their diameter. 1. Which of the options would you select (a or b)? (Please explain your selection in the next question) 2. According to your selection, calculate the length of the settler (in m) required to remove the particles assuming they reach terminal velocity.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
