A city has a population of 50,000 people, an average household generated wastewater flow of 430 L/day-person, and the average BO

D5 of the untreated wastewater in population equivalents is 0.1 kg BOD5/day-person. If the BOD reaction rate constant for the waste stream is 0.4/day. Determine the ultimate BOD of the wastewater.

Answer:

The ultimate BOD of waste water is 265 milligram per Liter.

Explanation:

To start with and properly determine the ultimate BOD of the waste water, we need to determine the volume of water used by the population in the city within five days.

Therefore, 50000 people × 430 Liters ÷ day-person × 5 days

1.08 × 10∧8 Liters

The mass BOD5 by the city population in 5 days is therefore,

0.1 kilogram × BOD5 ÷ day-person × 50000 people × 5 days

2.5 × 10 ∧ 4 BOD5

The 5 days BOD of waste water is therefore,

5d = 2.5 × 10 ∧ 4 / 1.08 × 10 ∧ 8 Liters × 1000grams ÷ 1 kilogram × 1000mg ÷ 1gram

233 milligram / liter

The ultimate BOD, is therefore,

ULo = 5d ÷ (1 - e ∧ -k5)

Solving this further, we derive

265 milligram per Liter.

2.) A fluid moves in a steady manner between two sections in a flow

Talja [164]

Answer:

$250\ \text{lbm/min}$

$625\ \text{ft/min}$

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Area of section 1 = $10\ \text{ft}^2$

$V_1$ = Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min

$v_1$ = Specific volume at section 1 = $4\ \text{ft}^3/\text{lbm}$

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $0.2\ \text{lb/ft}^3$

$A_2$ = Area of section 2 = $2\ \text{ft}^2$

Mass flow rate is given by

$m=\rho A_1V_1=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{10\times 100}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=250\ \text{lbm/min}$

The mass flow rate through the pipe is $250\ \text{lbm/min}$

As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1

$m=\rho A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{m}{\rho A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{250}{0.2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=625\ \text{ft/min}$

The speed at section 2 is $625\ \text{ft/min}$ .

spayn [35]

Answer:

$\triangle V_0=0.08V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Incremental resistance $R=8ohms$

Resistor Feed $R_f=82ohms$

Supply Change $\triangle V=1$

Generally the equation for voltage rate of change is mathematically given by

$\frac{dV_0}{dV}=\frca{R}{R_1r_3}$

Therefore

$\triangle V_0=\triangle V*\frac{R}{R_fR}$

$\triangle V_0=1*\frac{8}{8*82}$

$\triangle V_0=0.08V$
