A plant discharges 4,000 gal/min of treated wastewater that contains 0.25 mg/L of PCB, (polychloronated biphenyls) into a river that contains no measurable PCBS upstream of the discharge. If the river flow rate is 1,500 cubic feet per second, after the discharged water has thoroughly mixed with the river water, what is the concentration of PCBS in the river in mg/L?

Problem 1 •Through a refinery, fuel ethanol is flowing in a pipe at a velocity of 1 m/s and a pressure of 101300 Pa. The refinery needs the ethanol to be at a pressure of 2 atm (202600 Pa) on a lower level. How far must the pipe drop in height in order to achieve this pressure? Assume the velocity does not change.
