A wastewater treatment plant treats 20 MGD of wastewater containing 950 mg/L of suspended solids in a primary clarifier that has

a 20% suspended solids removal efficiency. The rate of sludge collection, the flow rate out the bottom of the clarifier, is 0.08 MGD.
a) What is the solids concentration (in mg/L) in the sludge leaving the clarifier?
b) What mass of solids (in kg/y) is removed annually by the primary clarifier?

Answer:

a) 47500 mg/L

b) 5250366.444  kg/year

Explanation:

Given data:

suspended solids removal efficiency = 20%

Flowrate in the primary clarifier ( Q ) = 20 MGD ( change to Liters/day

Q = 20* 10^6 * 3.785412  Liters /day

settled concentration  ( St ) = 950mg/L * 0.2 = 190 mg/L

amount of settled solid = Q * St

                                   = ( 20* 10^6 * 3.785412 ) * 190  = 14384.5656 kg/day

∴ Amount going into sludge with a flowrate of 0.08 MGD = 14384.5656 kg/day

<u>a) concentration of solid in sludge  ( leaving the clarifier )</u>

= amount of settled solid / flow rate out of the clarifier in liters/day

= 14384.5656 / ( 0.08 * 10^6 * 3.785412 )

= 0.0475 kg/L

= 47500 mg/L

<u>b) Determine mass of solids that is removed annually </u>

= 14384.5656 kg/day * 365 days

= 5250366.444  kg/year

A composite wall is composed of 20 cm of concrete block with k = 0.5 W/m-K and 5 cm of foam insulation with k = 0.03 W/m-K. The
wariber [46]

Answer:

4.8°C

Explanation:

The rate of heat transfer through the wall is given by:

q=\frac{Ak}{L}dT

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k}{L}dT

Assumptions:

1) the system is at equilibrium

2) the heat transfer from foam side to interface and interface to block side is equal. There is no heat retention at any point

3) the external surface of the wall (concrete block side) is large enough that all heat is dissipated and there is no increase in temperature of the air on that side

{k_{fi}= 0.03 W/m.K

{L_{fi}= 5 cm = 0.05 m

{T_{fi}= 25 \°C

{k_{cb} = 0.5 W/m.K

{L_{cb}= 20 cm = 0.20 m

{T_{cb}= 0 \°C

{T_{m}= ? \°C = temperature at the interface

Solving for {T_{m} will give the temperature at the interface:

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k_{fi} }{L_{fi} }(T_{fi} -T_{m})=\frac{k_{cb} }{L_{cb} }(T_{m} -T_{cb})

\frac{0.03}{0.05 }(25 -T_{m})=\frac{0.5}{0.2}(T_{m} -0})

15 -0.6T_{m}=2.5T_{m}

3.1T_{m}=15

T_{m}=4.8

Explain about Absolute viscosity, kinematic viscosity and SUS?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Absolute viscosity is the evaluation of the resistance (INTERNAL) of the fluid  flow

Kinematic viscosity relates to the dynamic viscosity and density proportion.

SUS stands for Sabolt Universal Seconds. it is units which described the variation of oil viscosity

Explanation:

Absolute viscosity is the evaluation of the resistance (INTERNAL) of the fluid  flow, whereas Kinematic viscosity relates to the dynamic viscosity and density proportion. fluid with distinct kinematic viscosities may have similar dynamic viscosities and vice versa.Dynamic viscosity provides you details of  power required to make the fluid flow at some rate, however kinematic viscosity shows how quick the fluid moves when applying a certain force.

SUS stands for Sabolt Universal Seconds. it is units which described the variation of oil viscosity when change with change in temperature. it is measured by using viscosimeter.

(a) Draw the Moore finite state machine (FSM) of an electronic combination lock with a RESET button, two number buttons (0 and 1
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are a total of 6 states and 3 bits in this problem. Whenever the Reset button is pressed, RESET state is called otherwise the state according to the diagram is called. For the combination to be "01011", the input sequence has to be in the same order. If 0 is pressed instead of 1 in state "010", the last state of output ending with 0 will be called and likewise in all the states that follow.
