Wastewater containing lead is being released from a certain industrial plant. The stream contains 7.74 % Pb and is treated in a unit (maximum capacity = 5000 kg wastewater/hr) that removes 90% of lead in the feed, which is then recycled back into the plant. Another stream from the unit is being released to a lagoon. If the stream leaving the plant has a rate greater than that of the treatment unit. the excess of the capacity of the unit (say. the excess above 5000 kg/hr) bypasses the unit. This excess is combined with the liquid leaving the treatment unit, which is released into the lagoon. The treatment plant releases 7500 kg/hr of wastewater. Determine the flow rate of the liquid to the waste lagoon. Include units. Express your answer in 1 decimal place only.

A power plant in rough terrain has a 100-m stack with an inside radius of 1 m. The plant emits 300 g/s of SO2 from the stack with an exit velocity of 10 m/s at a temperature of 120oC. Ambient temperature is 6oC and the temperature increases at a rate of 2 K/km. At 10 m above ground, surface windspeed is 1.5 m/s on a mostly cloudy night. Find the concentration (mg/m3) of SO2 using the included equation: Directly downwind at a distance of 2 km. At a point located 2 km downwind and 0.1 km off the downwind axis. At the point downwind where it is a maximum. Approximately how far from the stack does this occur?

A 1000 litre containment tank catches the outflow from a processing apparatus which has 800 litres of water with 2g of chemical agent dissolved in it. Additional supply comes into the tank at 3 litres/hr containing 5 g/litre of the chemical agent. The solution leaves the containment tank at 3 litres/hr. When the amount of chemical agent in the containment tank reaches 500 g, no more supply is allowed to enter the system. Instead,fresh water is input into the tank at 2 litres/hr; and at the same time,the outflow is increased to 4 litres/hr. How much chemical agentis held in the containment tank at any time t.Assume all liquids are well-mixed.
