The primary effluent is to be treated by two parallel trains of the complete mix activated sludge process. The average daily wastewater design flows of 2.0 MGD and assume that the primary sedimentation process removes 60% of the suspended solids and 40% of the BOD5 of the raw sewage. The following data are given:
• Plant effluent BOD5 of 8 mg/L
• Biomass yield of 0.55 kg biomass / kg BOD
• Endogenous decay rate (kd) = 0.04 day-1
• Solids Retention Time (θC) = 8 days
• MLVSS concentration in the aeration tank of 3000 mg/L
• Waste and recycle solids concentration of 12,000 mg/L
a) Determine the aeration tank volume in cubic meters.
b) Determine the mass and volumetric flow rates (kg/day and m3 day) of wasted sludge.
c) Determine the return (recycle) flow rate in cubic meters per day (and in MGD).
d) Determine the volumetric BOD loading to the aeration tank in lb BOD per 1000ft3.
e) Determine the food to microorganism ratio (F/M) for the aeration tank in kg BOD/day/kg
f) Determine the design hydraulic detention time (θ) in hours.

A 1000-ft vertical curve connects a -1% grade to a -3.5% grade. If the vertical tangents intersect at sta. 38+60.24 and elevation 1,400.13 ft, develop an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the elevations of the grade line at each station from sta. 31+00 to 45+00. Include the elevations of the PVC and PVT.

We designed the water flow rate to supply water to the increased
population in New Jersey in 2020 and the trapezoidal canal that
conveys the increased amount of water resources like Figure 2. The
concrete-lined canal (n=0.015) is to have a B (bottom width) /yn
(B/yn) of 2.0, 2H:1V side slopes and a velocity of 5.0 feet/s. The
normal water depth is 3.75 ft and the longitudinal slope is
0.000825.
2.1. When the depth of flow at the gaging station is observed to be
4 ft, classify the water surface profile at the gaging station.
2.2. Is it possible for a hydraulic jump to occur at the gaging station?

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area

c (0 < c < 1)
is an empirical constant.
A tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its bottom. (Assume the removed apex of the cone is of negligible height and volume.)
(a)
Suppose the tank is 20 feet high and has radius 8 feet and the circular hole has radius 2 inches. The differential equation governing the height h in feet of water leaking from a tank after t seconds is

See the figure below.A right-circular conical tank containing water is shown.
If the tank is initially full, how long will it take the tank to empty? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A steel storage tank 20m in diameter will be used to hold liquid petroleum product. When filled, the tank causes a bearing pressure of 150kPa. The soil underlying the tank has a unit weight of 16.5kN/m3 above the water table and 19.8kN/m3 below the water table. For a depth of 10m below the base of the tank, compute the effective vertical stress when the tank is empty and when it is full, for points under the center and the edge. (Assume the base of the tank is on the ground surface and ground water table, GWT, is 5m below the ground surface. Ignore the empty weight of the tank).

Conduct research on one of the first built tombs in the world. The selected tomb should have a superstructure. Specifically, focus on the, Evidential, Historical, Aesthetic and Communal Values of the tombs. In other words, determine the specific futures of a tomb in relation to their evidential, historical, aesthetic, and communal values
Architect, architectural features, construction year and duration, construction materials, construction type, structural features, construction purpose and the features that make it different and significant and the importance of the construction for the society should be included and explained under the headings of Evidential, Historical, Aesthetic and Communal Values in the report. You should illustrate your explanations with photographs which should be referred in your report.
