In a wastewater treatment plant, the supply of oxygen supply is 073 kgO2/h is necessary underoperating conditions, using a mechanical aeration system. Calculate theStandard Oxygen Transfer Rate. Using relevant data: Liquid temperature: T = 23 ◦C, Altitude = 1000 m, DO concentration to be maintained in the liquid CL = 1.5 mg/L, α = 0.90, β = 0.95, θ = 1.024 (Note: calculate the required value if it is missing)
Calculate length of the pipe required to bring down the concentration of chlorine from 6x105 CFU/L to the permissible value of 2500 CFU/L. It is given that the velocity of flow through the pipe is 0.7 m/s and the rate constant is 0.25.
Coming home after the end of the winter semester, you find that your family’s swimming pool has not be maintained well. In particular, it has no chlorine residual at all, and it is full of tree leaves. You buy a concentrated chlorine solution (1% as Cl2) and begin to meter it into the pool at a rate of 100 mL/hour. The pool has a volume of 200 m3. You also add new water, and remove in-pool water, at a rate of 3.785 L/minute. The chlorine reacts with the organic matter in the with a rate of 0.5/hour. How long will it take to get the Cl2 residual up to 1 mg/L if you add Cl2 continously.
