Design a low rate trickling filter for secondary treatment of sewage generated from 10,000 persons with rate of water supply 170 liters per capita per day. The BOD5 after primary treatment is 110 mg/L and BOD5 of final effluent should be 20 mg/L. Consider the following equation, where C = 5.358.
(St/So)=(1)/(1+C((D^0.67)/(QL^0.5))
Now, design a high rate trickling filter for the data given above except effluent BOD5 is 40 mg/l since polishing treatment is provided after high rate trickling filter. Consider a recirculation ratio of 2 and a filter depth of 1.8 m.

Calculate balanced and unbalanced snow loading for a heated garage/workshop located in the most northern part of Maine at the site of a 200 ft hight from the mean seal level. The area exhibits low wind and is populated with some trees. The structure is occupied by workers daily, has an asphalt gable roof with a pitch of 4 over 12 and is 44’ by 44’.

It has been estimated that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere before the Industrial Revolution was about 275 ppmv. If the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere continues, then by the middle of this century, it will probably be around 600 ppmv. Calculate the pH of rainwater (neglecting the effect of any other gases) at 25oC both before the Industrial Revolution and by the middle of this century (KH = 0.033363 mol/L∙atm, pKa1 = 6.35, pKa2 = 10.33).

A window-mounted air conditioner supplies 19 m3/min of air at 15°C, 1 bar to a room. Air returns from the room to the evaporator of the unit at 22°C. The air conditioner operates at steady state on a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with Refrigerant 22 entering the compressor at 4 bar, 10°C. Saturated liquid refrigerant at 11.5 bar leaves the condenser. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 70%, and refrigerant exits the compressor at 11.5 bar. Determine:
(a) the compressor power, in kW.
(b) the refrigeration capacity, in tons.
(c) the coefficient of performance.
