Entrance Tank/Flocculator Assembly

The entrance tank/flocculator assembly of an AguaClara water treatment plant contains the entrance tank, chemical dose controller (CDC), linear flow orifice meter (LFOM), and flocculator. It adds the initial dose of coagulant and chlorine to the influent water, then causes flocs (accumulated coagulant and primary particles) to aggregate.

Example:
>>> from aguaclara.design.ent_floc import *
>>> etf = EntTankFloc(q=20 * u.L / u.s, floc=Flocculator(hl=35 * u.cm))
>>> round(etf.ent.l, 5)
<Quantity(40.56721, 'inch')>
class aguaclara.design.ent_floc.EntTankFloc(**kwargs)[source]

Design an AguaClara plant’s entrance tank/flocculator assembly.

The designs of the LFOM, entrance tank, and flocculator in an AguaClara water treatment plant are interdependent. Use this class instead of the classes of the individual components to design all three at once.
