3. Circular clarifiers are used to remove solid materials from water. They allow continuous treatment of water and can handle fairly large flows. Solids settle to the bottom of the clarifier and are carried away by a small stream of water (the waste stream). Most of the water exits the tank as treated effluent. Assume a clarifier receives a flow of 0.10 m3/s with a solid concentration of 800 mg/L. If the waste stream consists of 3% of the incoming flow and carries 90% of the incoming solids, a) what is the solids concentration in the waste stream, and b) what is the solids concentration in the treated effluent?
A tank has a total capacity of 100L, but initially it contains 15L of pure water. Water flows into the tank 8L per min and contains 2kg of salt. The solution in the tank is being mixed well. If the well mixed solution in the tank exits 7L per minute, determine the amount of salt in the solution just before the tank overflows

Waste activated sludge can be described as a Newtonian fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 20 x 10 ft/sec. At the same temperature, the kinematic viscosity v of water is 10 ft/sec. The relative roughness of the piping system is 0.001. The pressure drop for flow of water at a Reynolds number of 10' in this piping system was determined to be 1.0 psi. If waste activated sludge flows at the same velocity through the piping" system, the pressure drop (psi) is most nearly:
A wastewater treatment plant processes its mixed sludge by employing the gravity thickening followed by anaerobic digestion. The thickened sludge has a flowrate of 4,000 m³/d at a solids content of 5% and must be conveyed over a 100m-long pipeline (Hazen-William coefficient C = 100) between the gravity thickeners and anaerobic digesters. Size the diameter of the pipe and estimate the friction headloss using both simple multiplication factor method and rheological method, respectively.
