Q1)
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?
3 A farmer has a 10-heactare maize farm. The maize is under “Fall Army Worm” attack. The farmer has to urgently control the attack using a chemical called AGENOX 221. Motorized sprayers with tank capacities of 15 litres each are to be used. The recommended concentration of the chemical is 2 ml/L and each full tank will cover ½ hectare. A 50-man team is engaged to control the attack. Using the above information and the assumptions given below:
i. What volume of the chemical is required to cover the entire field to control the “Fall Army Worm” attack?
ii. If each man covers an area of 25 m2 from one end of the field to the other, how many trips will each of them make to cover the entire field? Assume ach man moves in a straight line.
Assumptions:
1. The 10 ha farm is considered to be a perfect square.
2. There is a 2.5 % loss of chemical due to the transfer to the sprayer tank.

If machine parts are degreased by means of kerosene as shown in the diagram, how much kerosene make-up is needed per day? How much kerosene has to enter the degreasing vat per day? There are about 3 lb of grease per 100 lb of machine parts, and 60 tons of machine parts are processed each day. Five thousand pounds of kerosene (the 10% solution) are carried away by the machine parts each day but drip off and are caught and put back in the degreasing vat. Two hundred pounds of the 10% solution are lost each day from the vat by evaporation, spillage, or by being carried away.arrow_forward

A nuclear power facility produces a vast amount of heat, which is usually discharged into aquatic systems. This heat raises the temperature of the aquatic system, resulting in a greater concentration of chlorophyll a, which in turn extends the growing season. To study this effect, water samples were collected monthly at 3 stations for a period of 12 months. Štation Á is located closest to a potential heated water discharge, station Č is located farthest away from the discharge, and station B is located halfway between stations A and C.

Accumulation represents the change in mass in the reactor per change in time. For a constant-volume system, it can be simply formulated as ,dc Accumulation = V“ dt (28.1) where V = volume and e = concentration. Thus, a mathematical formulation for accu- mulation is volume times the derivative of e with respect to t. Solution. Equations (28.1) and (12.1) can be used to represent the mass balance for a single reactor such as the one shown in Fig. 28.1: dc V = Qcm - Qc (28.2) dt Accumulation = inputs – outputs Equation (28.2) can be used to determine transient or time-variable solutions for the reactor. For example, if c = co at t = 0, calculus can be employed to analytically solve G = 50 mg/m², Q = 5 m'/min, V = 100 m²., and co = 10 mg/m², Use Euler's method to find the solution of e from t = 0 to 40 s with a step size (h) of 10 s.arrow_forward1. In general, the internal energy U depends on both temperature and volume, U=U(TV). The volume dependence comes from the potential energy due to the interactions among the particles. For free particles, there are no interactions, thus, the internal energy U should be independent of the volume, i.e., = 0. Verify this result for ideal gas pV = RT. au avarrow_forward
