A wastewater treatment plant discharges 1.0 m3/s of effluent having an ultimate BOD of 40.0 mg/ L into a stream flowingat 10.0 m

3/s. Just upstream from the discharge point, the stream has an ultimate BOD of 3.0 mg/L The deoxygenationconstant kd is estimated at 0.22/day.(a) Assuming complete and instantaneous mixing. find the ultimate BOD of the mixture of waste and river just downstreamfrom the outfall.(b) Assuming a constant cross-sectional area for the stream equal to 55 m2, what ultimate BOD would you expect to find ata point 10.000 m downstream?

Answer:

a) 6.4 mg/l

b) 5.6 mg/l

Explanation:

Given data:

effluent Discharge Q_w = 1.0 m^3.s

Ultimate BOD L_w = 40 mg/l

Discharge of stream Q_r = 10 m^3.s

Stream ultimate BOD L_r = 3 mg/l

a) Ultimate BOD of mixture $= \frac{Q_w l_w + Q_r L_r}{Q_w + Q_r}$

$= \frac{1*40 + 10*3}{10 +1} = 6.4 mg/l$

b) utlimate BOD at 10,000 m downstream

$t =\frac{distance}{speed} = \frac{10,000}{\frac{Q_r +Q+w}{55}} \times \frac{hr}{3600} \times \frac{day}{24 hr}$

putting $Q_r + Q_w = 1+ 10 = 11 m^3/s$

t = 0.578 days

we know

$L_t = L_o e^{-kt}$

$L_t = 6.4 \times e^{-0.22 \times 0.578}$

$L_t = 5.6 mg/l$

Swing arm restraints are intended to prevent a vehicle from falling off a lift.

castortr0y [4]

The question is asking whether that statement is true or false. Options are;

A) True

B) False

This is about usage of Swing arm restraints.

<em><u>B) False</u></em>

There are different safety features that people employ when a vehicle is lifted. However, for this question, we will only talk about swing arm restraints.

Swing arm restraints are lifting restraint devices that are used to prevent a cars arms from shifting or going out of position after that car has been lifted and mounted.

This swing arm restraint does not prevent a vehicle from falling off a lift as it just helps to ensure that the swing arms that are unloaded basically maintain their position.

A center-point bending test was performed on a 2 in. x d in. wood lumber according to ASTM D198 procedure with a span of 4 ft an

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

3.03 INCHES

Explanation:

According to ASTM D198 ;

Modulus of rupture = ( M / I ) * y ----- ( 1 )

M ( bending moment ) = R * length of span / 2

= (120 * 10^3 ) * 48 / 2 = 288 * 10^4 Ib-in

I ( moment of inertia ) = bd^3 / 12

= ( 2 )*( d )^3 / 12 = 2d^3 / 12

b = 2 in , d = ?

length of span = 4 * 12 = 48 inches

R = P / 2 = 240 * 10^3 / 2 = 120 * 10^3 Ib

y ( centroid distance ) = d / 2 inches

back to equation ( 1 )

( M / I ) * y

940.3 ksi = ( 288 * 10^4 / 2d^3 / 12 ) * d / 2

= ( 288 * 10^4 * 12 ) / 2d^3 ) * d / 2

940300 = 34560000* d / 4d^3

4d^3 ( 940300 ) = 34560000 d ( divide both sides with d )

4d^2 = 34560000 / 940300

d^2 = 9.188 ∴ Value of d ≈ 3.03 in

A plane, opaque, surface M has the following properties: gray, diffuse, absorptivity = 0.7, surface area = 0.5 m2 , temperature

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The rate of energy absorbed per unit time is 3500W.

Explanation:

From the question, we were given the following parameters;

Plane, opaque, gray, diffuse surface

â = 0.7

Surface area, A = 0.5m²

Incoming radiant energy, G = 10000w/m²

T = 500°C

Rate of energy absorbed is âAG;

âAG = 0.7 × 0.5 × 10000

âAG = 3500W.

The energy absorbed is measured in watts and denoted by the symbol W.

In a production facility, 3 cm thick large brass plates (k = 110 W/mC, α = 33.9 × 10-6 m2 /s) that are initially at a uniform

zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given.

Thickness of brass plate $t = 3 cm$

Thermal conductivity of brass $k = 110 W/m.°C$

Density of brass $\rho = 8530 kg/m^3$

Specific heat of brass $C_p =380J/kg.°C$

Thermal diffusivity of brass $\alpha = 33.9\times 10^{-6} m^2/s$

Temperature of oven $T_{\infty} = 700°C$

The initial temperature $T_i= 25°C$

Plate remain in the oven $t =10 min$

Heat conduction in the plate is one-dimensional since the plate is large relative to its thickness and there is thermal symmetry about the center plane.

The thermal properties of the plate are constant.

The heat transfer coefficient is constant and uniform over the entire surface.

The Fourier number is > 0.2 so that the one-term approximate solutions (or the transient temperature charts) are applicable (this assumption will be verified).

The Biot number for this process $Bi = \frac{hL}{k}\\\\Bi=\frac{(80 W/m^2.°C)(0.015 m)}{(110 W/m.°C)}\\=Bi =0.0109$

The constants $\lambda_1$ and $A_1$ corresponding to this Biot are, from 11-2 tables.

The interpolation method used to find the

$\lambda_1=0.1039$ and $A_1=1.0018
$

The Fourier number $\tau=\frac{\alpha t}{L^2}\\\\\tau=\frac{(33.9\times 10^{-6} m^2/s)(10 min \times 60 s/min)}{(0.015m)^2}
\\\\\tau=90.4>0.2$

Therefore, the one-term approximate solution (or the transient temperature charts) is applicable.

Then the temperature at the surface of the plates becomes

$\theta(L,t)_{wall}=\frac{T(x,t)-T_{\infty}}{(T_i-T_{\infty})}\\\\\theta(L,t)_{wall}=A_1e^{-\lambda_1^2\tau}\cos(\lambda_1L/L)\\\\\theta(L,t)_{wall}=(1.0018)e^{-(0.1039^2(90.4))}\cos(0.1039)\\\\\theta(L,t)_{wall}=0.378\\\\\frac{T(L,t)-700}{25-700}=0.378\\\\T(L,t)=445°C$
