Question

The following data was obtained from a test program designed to evaluate a new diffused-air aeration system. Using these data, determine the value of KLa at 20oC and the equilibrium dissolved-oxygen concentration in the test tank. The test program was conducted using tap water at a temperature of 24oC.

C, mg/L 1.5 2.7 3.9 4.8 6 7 8.2
dC/dt, mg/L.h 8.4 7.5 5.3 4.9 4.2 2.8 2

If the volume of the test tank used to evaluate the aeration system were equal to 100 m3 and the air flowrate were equal to 2 m3/min, determine the maximum oxygen transfer efficiency at 20oC and 1.0 atmosphere.
