The following information is available for a seeded 5-day BOD test conducted on a wastewater sample. 15 mL of the waste sample w

as added directly into a 300-mL BOD incubation bottle and then 285 mL of dilution water was added to fill the bottle. The initial DO of the diluted sample was 8.8 mg/L and the final DO after 5 days was 1.9 mg/L. 1. Assuming that the BOD5 of 285 mL dilution water is 0 mg/L. What is the 5-day BOD (BOD5) of the wastewater sample 2. In reality, the dilution water usually has its own BOD. In a control experiment of determining the BOD5 of dilution water with seed microorganisms, the initial DO of dilution water was 9.1 mg/L and the final DO after 5 days was 7.9 mg/L.

Answer:

(a) BOD₅ = 138 mg/L

(b) BOD₅ = 115.2 mg/L

Explanation:

Given Data;

volume of sample = 15 mL

volume of sample bottle

Volume of dilution water = 285 mL

initial DO = 8.8 mg/L

Final DO = 1.9 mg/L

Calculating the volumetric fraction of the sample using the fromula;

p = volume of sample/volume of sample bottle

  = 15/300

 = 0.05

(a) Calculating the 5-day BOD of the waste water sample using the formula;

BOD₅ = D₀ - D₅/p

         = 8.8 -1.9/0.05

         = 138 mg/L

(b) Calculating the dilution percentage of sample, we have

Dilution percentage of sample = 285/300 *100

                                                   = 95%

Calculating the value of ratio f using the formula;

f = %of dilution water in diluted sample/%of dilution water in dilution water

  = 95/100

  = 0.95

Calculating the 5 day BOD of the waste water sample using the formula;

BOD₅ = [(D₀ - D₅) - f(B₀ -B₅)]/p

          = [(8.8 - 1.9) - 0.95*(9.1 -7.9)]/0.05

         = 6.9-1.14/0.05

         = 5.76/0.05

        = 115.2 mg/L

1. A team of students have designed a battery-powered cooler, which promises to keep beverages at a high-drinkability temperatur
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Minimum electrical power required = 3.784 Watts

Minimum battery size needed = 3.03 Amp-hr

Explanation:

Temperature of the beverages, T_L = 36^0 F = 275.372 K

Outside temperature, T_H = 100^0F = 310.928 K

rate of insulation, Q = 100 Btu/h

To get the minimum electrical power required, use the relation below:

\frac{T_L}{T_H - T_L} = \frac{Q}{W} \\W = \frac{Q(T_H - T_L)}{T_L}\\W = \frac{100(310.928 - 275.372)}{275.372}\\W = 12.91 Btu/h\\1 Btu/h = 0.293071 W\\W = 12.91 * 0.293071\\W_{min} = 3.784 Watt

V = 5 V

Power = IV

W_{min} = I_{min} V\\3.784 = 5I_{min}\\I_{min} = \frac{3.784}{5} \\I_{min} = 0.7568 A

If the cooler is supposed to work for 4 hours, t = 4 hours

I_{min} = 0.7568 * 4\\I_{min} = 3.03 Amp-hr

Minimum battery size needed = 3.03 Amp-hr

Define the word vision statement​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

A vision statement describes what a company desires to achieve in the long-run, generally in a time frame of five to ten years, or sometimes even longer. It depicts a vision of what the company will look like in the future and sets a defined direction for the planning and execution of corporate-level strategies.

Explanation:

While companies should not be too ambitious in defining their long-term goals, it is critical to set a bigger and further target in a vision statement that communicates a company’s aspirations and motivates the audience. Below are the main elements of an effective vision statement:

-Forward-looking

-Motivating and inspirational

-Reflective of a company’s culture and core values

-Aimed at bringing benefits and improvements to the organization in the future

-Defines a company’s reason for existence and where it is heading
