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 storage tank of a treatment water has a holding capacity of 750 m' up to an overflow point. The treatment water having silica content of 0.003 mg /L is flowing in to a tank at a rate of 30 L/sec. the out flow from the tank to the high pressure boilers is 30 L/sec. With time the quality of treatment water increased to 0.025 mg/L. Assuming that the inflow in to and out flow from the tank remains constant at 30 L/sec, calculate the time required for the silica content in the storage tank to increase to 0.01 mg/L.
