A rectangular, well-mixed aeration lagoon is 75 m long, 5 m wide, and 2 m deep. It receives 400 m³/d of wastewater with a BOD₅ of 367mg BOD₅/L for treatment. The biodegradation rate constants for the wastewater are the following: yield coefficient = 0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD₅, endogenous decay constant = 0.08 d^-1, maximum specific microbial growth rate = 1 d^-1, and half velocity constant = 76.0 mg BOD₅/L.

What must the hydraulic detention time be in the aeration pond? (days)

What is the efficiency of the lagoon? (%)

The pond’s efficiency depends on oxygen being always available for the microbes to use in degrading the wastewater organic carbon. How much oxygen must be supplied daily to the pond? (in kg)

What mass of microbes will be produced in the pond each day? (in kg)
Suppose the operators decide to perform a recycle of the lagoon’s effluent to boost the efficiency. They decide to pump sludge from where it accumulates at the bottom of the pond to mix with the influent such that the incoming flow contains the same concentration of bacteria as the pond itself (X₀ = X). What will the new treatment efficiency be? (%)

A well-mixed sample (volume = 30 mL) of mixed liquor from an aeration tank of an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant was divided into two halves. The first half was filled in a 22.285 g crucible and placed in a drying oven at 105°C for 24 hours. The weight of the crucible and the residue after drying was 22.344 g. The crucible was then placed in a furnace at 550 °C for 30 minutes. After that the crucible with the...

A closed rectangular tank 1.2 m high, 2.4 m long and 1.5 m wide is two-thirds full of gasoline (specic gravity 0.8). Calculate the acceleration which may be imparted to the tank so that the bottom front end of the tank is just exposed. Also calculate the total forces on each end of the tank and show that the dierence between these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate the liquid mass in the tank.
