A municipal wastewater treatment plant discharges 20,000 m3/d of treated wastewater to a stream. The wastewater has a BOD5 of 30 mg/L with a k1 of 0.23 d-1. The temperature of the wastewater is 20 oC, and the dissolved oxygen is 2.0 mg/L. The stream just above the point of wastewater discharge flows at 0.65 m3/s, has a BOD5 of 5.0 mg/L, and is 90% saturated with oxygen. The temperature of the stream is also 20 oC. After mixing, the combined stream and wastewater flows at a velocity of 0.5 m/s and the reaeration constant, k2, is 0.45 d-1. (a) What is the oxygen level of the stream when it reaches a point 2 days downstream? (b) What is the critical oxygen level in the stream and how far downstream will it occur?

A baghouse from a mass-burn incinerator unit holds a total of 48 bags for particulate removal. A single bag is cylindrical in shape and measures 30 cm diameter and 5 m length. What is the filtering area of the bag? If the baghouse unit (48 bags) is to treat 14,500 m3/h of flue gas, calculate the effective filtration velocity in meters per minute and the mass of particles collected daily if the inlet loading is 125 g/m3 and the unit operates at 95% collection efficiency. Note that 1 kg of collected residue is ~15,430 grains.
