A flow of 2.6 MGD leaves a primary clarifier with a BOD of 131 mg/L. Determine the aeration period (hydraulic detention time) of

an activated sludge tank that has a BOD loading of 35 lbsper 1000 ft3per day. Determine the sludge age of the facility given the following data: VSS concentration is 2100 mg/L, and the mass rate of wasted sludge is equal to 44 percent of the BOD loading.

Answer:

8.5 days

Explanation:

Given data :

Flow ( Q ) = 2.6 MGD = 11819.834 m^3/day

BOD = 131 mg/L

BOD loading rate = 35 Ibs/1000 ft^3   per day = 0.5606 kg/m^3/day

<u>Calculate the sludge age of the facility </u>

Given  the BOD  applied to the aeration tank  = 11819.834 m^3/day * 131mg/l

                                                                            = 1548.398 kg/day

first calculate the volume of the aeration tank

V = BOD applied / BOD loading rate

V = 1548.398 / 0.5606 = 2762.03 m^3

Hydraulic Detention time = V / Q

                                          = 2762.03 / 11819.834  = 0.2336 day = 5.6 hour

next : determine the mass rate of the waste

= 44% * 0.5606 kg/m^3/day

= 0.2466 kg/m^2/day

finally determine the sludge age

= V * Xt / ∅w * R

= ( 2762.03 m^3 * 2100 * 10^-3 ) / ( 0.2466 * 2762.03 kg/day )

= 8.5 days

sweet [91]

Answer:

Attached below is the Radial power circuit arrangement

Explanation:

Radial power circuit arrangement is done in a way that a single cable starts from the fuse box and connects to all the outlet socket contained in the circuit also the cable contains wires ( live , neutral and earth )

The advantage of a radial power circuit arrangement is that it enables easy identification of electrical faults on the circuit.

g (b) (4 pt) Write a function unique that identifies the repeated elements of a list and returns a list with unique elements. $
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

I am writing a Python function unique()    

def unique(list):  # function unique that takes a list as parameter

 unique_list = []  #list to store unique elements

 for elements in list:  # loop that checks every element of the list

   if elements not in unique_list:  # takes unique elements from list

     unique_list.append(elements)  

#appends unique elements  from list to unique_list

 return unique_list      #outputs unique_list elements

         

Explanation:

The unique() function takes a list as argument which is named as list.

unique_list is a new list which stores unique element from the list.

The loop moves through the elements of the list one by one.

if condition checks if the element in list is not present in the unique_list which means that element is unique to the unique_list.

If this condition is true this means that the element is not repeated and is not already present in unique_list. Then that element is included to the unique_list using append() function which appends an element into the unique_list from the list.

If you want to check if this function works you pass a list with repeated elements to this function so that it can print the unique elements as follows:

print(unique([1,2,2,2,2,3,4,4,4,4,4,5]))

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The screen shot of the function along with its output is attached.
