An underground storage tank (UST) containing tricholoroethane has ruptured and contaminated the subsurface. The plume extends a distance of 390 feet (length) and 130 feet wide at this distance. The depth of the plume is 10 feet and the seasonal high groundwater table is at a depth of 5 feet. Provide a preliminary design and layout of a SVE system.

Determine:

a. Required no of extraction wells and their layout

b. Volumetric capacity in CFM and operating pressure of blower. c. How can you improve removal efficiency?

An underground storage tank has sprung a leak, sending 184 kilograms of ethanol into the subsurface soil. Ethanol can be used as an electron donor under either aerobic (oxygen is the electron acceptor) or sulfate reducing (sulfate is reduced to H 2 S) conditions. a) How many electrons are transferred during the oxidation of ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) to carbon dioxide (CO 2 )? b) Construct the stoichiometric energy generating reaction from the half reactions associated with the...

A system for the storage of thermal energy is to be designed using an underground tank of water. The tank is buried at a depth of 3 m and is a cube of 1 m on each side. The water in the tank is heated by circulating it through a solar energy collection system. A given heat input to the water may be assumed due to the solar energy flux. Characterize the design problem in terms of the fixed quantities...

A spherical storage tank contains oil. The tank has a diameter of 6 feet. You are asked to calculate the height at which an 8-foot-long dipstick would be wet with oil when immersed in the tank when it contains 6 ft3 of oil. The equation giving the height h of the liquid in the spherical tank for the given volume and radius is given by: f(h) = h3−9h2 + 3.8197 Use the secant method to find roots of equations to...

A facility has a waste storage tank with a capacity of 40 cubic feet. Each week the tank produces either 0, 10, 20, or 30 cubic feet of waste with respective probabilities of 0.1, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.2. If the amount of waste produced in a week creates a situation where the tank would overflow, the amount exceeding the tank’s capacity can be removed at a cost of $3 per cubic foot. At the end of each week, a contracted...

A fluidic storage tank has a square cross-section (3m x 3m) and a height of 10m. The tank is half-filled with a fluid with the density of 200kg/m3. The tank suddenly develops a leak. A sensor inside the tank instantaneously alerts the owner that the height of the fluid in the tank is decreasing by 1mm/min. Find the flow rate out of the tank at that moment in time.

A large vented tank containing water at 20 C has a pipe discharging to the atmosphere horizontally from the bottom. The pipe is 2.3 cm in diameter, has a surface roughness of 0.046mm, and is 40m long. The velocity in the pipe is 3.5 m/s. The flow in the pipe is turbulent. Neglecting minor losses, what is the water level in the tank above the centerline of the outlet pipe? 2.1 m 28.3 m 13.6 m 39.2 m With the...

(a) A tank containing methanol has walls 2.50 cm thick made of glass of refractive index 1.550. Light from the outside air strikes the glass at 41.3 degrees angle with the normal to the glass. Find the angle the light makes with the normal in the methanol. (b) The tank is emptied and refilled with an unknown liquid. If light incident at the same angle as in part (a) enters the liquid in the tank at an angle of 20.2...
