A CM basin with a volume of 475 m³ receives a flow of 2000 m³ d⁻¹. The basin has a dead volume of 42 m³. Find the effluent tracer curve if a mass of 5 g of tracer is added instantaneously to the influent. Also plot the effluent tracer curve for the reactor without dead volume.

Expert Solution

CM basin is a completely mixed basin.

A lagoon with volume of 1200 m3 has been receiving a steady flow of a conservative (inert) waste at a rate of 100 m3 /day for a long enough time to assume that steady-state conditions apply. The waste entering the lagoon has a concentration of 10 mg/L. a) What would be the concentration of pollutant in the effluent leaving the lagoon? b) If the input waste concentration suddenly increased to 100 mg/L, what would the concentration in the effluent be...

1. A slurry of particles with density 2000 kg/m3 is to be loaded into a thickener where the resulting voidage fraction is 0.89 and the superficial particle velocity is 2.8 mm/s. Calculate the particle system velocity. 2. Consider batch sedimentation system performed within a measuring cylinder where solids are settled according to Type 1 settling. The voidage fraction after the settling is 0.35 and the particle density is 2500 kg/m3 while the particle velocity is 0.0015 m/s. 2.1. What is...

The volume of 1 kg of helium in a piston-cylinder device is initially 7 m3 . Now helium is compressed to 3 m3 while its pressure is maintained constant at 150 kPa. Determine the initial and final temperatures of helium as well as the work required to compress it, in kJ. You may assume deal gas behavior.

Water flows in a horizontal pipeline at a steady flow rate of 0.03 m3 s-1. The pipeline terminates with a reducing bend that deflects the water upwards at an angle of 45 degrees, as shown in Figure QB2. The water issues into the atmosphere. The area of the pipe is 150 x 10-4 m2 and the area at the exit to the bend is 25 x 10-4 m2. The gauge pressure at the inlet to the bend is 73.9 kN...

Benzene (876.5 kg/m3) flows into a 10.3 cm diameter, inlet pipe (a.k.a Zone 1) at a pressure of 1.948 bar. The liquid then flows through a 6.2 cm diameter pipe at a pressure of 1.001 atm situated 1.4 m above the inlet pipe, a.k.a Zone 2. a) Calculate the flow speed of the Benzene in Zone 2. b) Calculate the volume flow rate of the Benzene in either Zone
