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

Answer:

  1. A kernel-level thread wishes to acquire a mutex lock declared as global in the process.  <u>"</u><u>True"</u>  
  2. The function call used below causes the thread to block at this point, if the mutex lock is already acquired by a different thread. int resultcode -pthread mutex_trylock (myMutex). <u>"False"</u>

In the engineering design and prototyping process, what is the advantage of drawings and symbols over written descriptions?
MrMuchimi

The advantages that can be associated to

drawings and symbols over written descriptions in engineering design and prototyping process are;

Communicate design ideas as well as technical information to engineers.

Symbols and drawings can be universal which means it is easy to interpret any where by professionals.

  • An engineering drawing serves as complex dimensional object and symbol use by engineer to communicate.

  • Drawings and symbols makes it easier to communicate design ideas and technical information to engineers and and how the process will go.

Therefore, drawings and symbols is universal to all engineer unlike written one.
