An existing four lane section of urban freeway (3 lanes each way) is located in rolling terrain and has 10’ travel lanes, no lateral obstructions within 5’ of the pavement edge. The roadway has 8 ramps upstream and 4 ramps downstream of the midpoint of the six mile analysis segment. The traffic stream contains 10% trucks and buses, and 4% RV’s. The peak hour directional volume is 3200 vehicles with the heaviest 15 minute volume of 800 vehicles. What is the current level of service? fp=0.95

1.A 1000 ephemeral stream segment along the Town Creek near Tupelo, MS has a width of 30-m. The difference in elevation of the bottom channel for the upstream to the downstream section is 0.5m. A triangular hydrograph cumulating 10-cm of runoff that begins at 0m3/s reaches a peak of 35m3/s after the first hour of flow and returns to 0m3/s at the time 2.8-hr.If no lateral or overbank inflow is observed along the reach:
a.(15pts) Compute the outflow hydrograph for this reach selecting a time step of 0.1hr, a travel time constant of 0.285 hr and a weighting factor o f0.35.(use 4 decimal places for the outflow hydrograph to determine the routing time to reach the 0m3/s)(As you could submit your routingin Excel, hand/typing calculation are required for the time step that corresponds to your last digit of the net id. If 0 then 10th time step)Hint: The inflow hydrographs should have time steps of 0.1-hr from the beginning to the end.
b.(5 pts) Determine the lag time and peak flow attenuation(difference) observed between inflow and outflow hydrographs.
c.(15pts) Assuming the routing parameters remain constant, compute the outflow hydrograph for the following 1000-m reach segment.(use 4 decimal places for the outflow hydrograph to determine the routing time to reach the 0m3/s)(As you could submit your routing in Excel, hand/typing calculation sare required for the time step that corresponds to your last digit of the net id. If 0 then 10th time step
d.(5 pts) Determine the lag time and peak flow attenuation(difference) observed between inflow and outflow hydrographs.e.(5 pts) Is the runoff volume and the runoff depth changing along the reach? Validate your response with proper calculations and demonstrations.
f.(5 pts) Plot all three hydrographs in one same graph.

An activated sludge plant receive 5.0 MGD of wastewater with a BOD of 220 mg/L. The primary clarifier removes 35% of the BOD. The sludge is aerated for 6 hr. The food-to-microorganism ratio is 0.30. The recirculation ratio is 0.2. The surface loading rate of the secondary clarifier is 800 gal/day-ft2. The final effluent has a BOD of 15 mg/L. What are the (a) BOD removal efficiency of the activated sludge treatment processes (secondary BOD removal), (b) aeration tank volume, (c) MLSS, and (d) secondary clarifier surface area? If 0.5 pound of oxygen is required for each pound of BOD entering the aeration tank and the density of air is approximately 0.075 lb/ft3, and the air is 20.9% oxygen by volume, calculate air requirements per day.
