g A primary sedimentation basin is designed for an average flow of 0.3 m3/s. The TSS concentration in the influent is 240 mg/L.

The average solids removal efficiency of the basin is 60 percent. The sludge has an average solids concentration of 4 percent and a specific gravity of 1.025. Calculate (a) the quantity and volume of sludge produced, (b) the effluent flow rate, and (c) the pump cycle time if the pumping rate is 570 L/min.

Answer:

(a) 0.243 m3/day

(b) 96 mg/l

(c) 0.426 m3/min

Explanation:

The sludge has an average solids concentration of 4 percent and considering TSS concentration in the influent of 240 mg/L then solids in sludge will be 0.04*240= 9.6 mg/L

Considering the average flow of 0.3 m3/s then mass of sludge per day will be given by 0.3*1000*9.6*60*60*24/1000000=248.832 kg/day

To get volume, considering specific gravity given as 1.025 and taking density of water as 1000 kg/m3 then density of sludge is 1025 kg/m3

Volume is mass/density hence 248.832/1025=0.2427629268292 m3/day

Approximately, the volume of sludge is 0.243 m3/day.

(b)

Efficiency of 60 percent is equivalent to 0.6

Efficiency=(influent concentration- flow rate)/influent concentration

0.6=(240-flow rate)/240

Flow rate= 96 mg/l

(c)

Cycle time= 0.243/0.57=0.4263157894736 m3/min

Rounded off, cycle time is 0.426 m3/day

A steel bar 100 mm (4.0 in.) long and having a square cross section 20 mm (0.8 in.) on an edge is pulled intension with a load o
grigory [225]

Answer:

The elastic modulus of the steel is 139062.5 N/in^2

Explanation:

Elastic modulus = stress ÷ strain

Load = 89,000 N

Area of square cross section of the steel bar = (0.8 in)^2 = 0.64 in^2

Stress = load/area = 89,000/0.64 = 139.0625 N/in^2

Length of steel bar = 4 in

Extension = 4×10^-3 in

Strain = extension/length = 4×10^-3/4 = 1×10^-3

Elastic modulus = 139.0625 N/in^2 ÷ 1×10^-3 = 139062.5 N/in^2

3. In the text, we described a multithreaded file server, showing why it is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-st
NemiM [27]

Answer and Explanation:

• 1 thread awaits the incoming request

• 1 thread responds to the request

• 1 thread reads the hard disk

A multithreaded file server is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-state machine server because it provides better response compared to the rest and can make use of the shared Web data.

Yes, there are circumstances in which a single-threaded server might be better. If it is designed such that:

- the server is completely CPU bound, such that multiple threads isn't needed. But it would account for some complexity that aren't needed.

An example is, the assistance number of a telephone directory (e.g 7771414) for an community of say, one million people. Consider that each name and telephone number record is sixty-four characters, the whole database takes 64 MB, and can be easily stored in the server's memory in order to provide quick lookup.

NOTE:

Multiple threads lead to operation slow down and no support for Kernel threads.
