The average flow velocity is 0.305 m/s. At the source, the BOD concentration is 10.0 mg/L and the dissolved oxygen deficit is 0.0 mg/L. From field sampling, de-oxygenation (kd) and re-aeration (ka) rate constants are estimated to be 0.6 d-1 and 2.0 d-1, respectively.

Find the critical distance, the critical deficit, and the time at which the minimum D.O. occurs

The ultimate BOD of a river just below a sewage outfall is 55.0 mg/L, and the DO is at a saturation value of 12.0 mg/L. The deoxygenation rate coefficient kd is 0.30/day, and the reaction rate coefficient kr is 0.90/day. The river is flowing at the speed if 52.0 miles per day. The only source of BOD on this river is this single outfall. Find the critical distance downstream at which DO is a minimum. Find the minimum DO. If...

A conventional activated-sludge plant treats 10.0 MGD of municipal wastewater with a BOD concentration of 240 mg/l and suspended solids of 200 mg/l. The sludge flow pattern is shown in Figure 11-1 of the textbook with a gravity belt thickener to concentrate the excess activated sludge. Primary and thickened activated sludge are pumped separately to the anaerobic digester. The primary clarifier removes 50% of the suspended solids and 35% of the BOD. The primary sludge solids content is 4.0%. The...

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,...

An axial flow fan 1.83 m diameter is designed to run at a speed of 1400 rev/min with an average axial air velocity of 12.2 m/s
An axial flow fan 1.83 m diameter is designed to run at a speed of 1400 rev/min with an average axial air velocity of 12.2 m/s. A quarter scale model has been built to obtain a check on the design and the rotational speed of the model fan is 4200 rev/min. Determine the axial air velocity of the model so that dynamical similarity with the full-scale fan is preserved. The effects of Reynolds number change may be neglected. A sufficiently large...
