A day is 16 * 60 * 60 = 57,600 seconds (night time substracted). So tens thousands users per day is like 1-2 req/s, maybe 50 at peak time.

What is more important is what kind of requests your server has to serve. Nginx can easily serve 50-80k req/s of static content; 100ks range if tuned properly.
