Membrane filtration, operated in a dead-end mode, is used to treat secondary effluent. If the HPC in the effluent increased from 5 org/L to 200 org/L, after an extended period of operation, estimate the number of broken fibers for the following conditions. The influent flowrate and organism count are 4000 m3/d and 6.7×107 org/L, respectively. The membrane bundle contains 5000 individual fibers. If the influent and effluent turbidity values under normal operation are 4 and 0.25 NTU respectively, estimate the increase in the effluent turbidity assuming the increase could be measured.
Complete the following problems dealing with rapid mix tanks and flocculation basins:1. Design a rapid mix tank for water at 50° F flowing at Q = 4.0 MGD for a typical process train ina drinking water treatment plant. Use a square tank with a depth 1.25 times the width, a designvelocity gradient G = 900 sec−1, and a hydraulic detention time τ = 30 seconds. Specificallydetermine:a. Rapid mix tank dimensions in feet and inches, to the nearest one inch.b. Input water horsepower (hp).c. Impeller rotational speed if a vane-disc impeller is used having a diameter half of the tankwidth and employing six flat blades and a baffled tank.2. Design a flocculation basin for water at 10°C flowing at Q = 49,200 m3/day for a typical processtrain in a drinking water treatment plant. The basin shall be a cross-flow, horizontal-shaft, paddlewheel type with an average velocity gradient of G = 26.7 sec−1, a detention time τ = 45 minutes,and a Gτ value of 50,000 to 100,000. Tapered flocculation shall be…
Whiskey (SG = 0.6 and ν = 5.0 x 10-7 m2/s) is drawn from a large tank through a smoothed, rubber hose as shown in the figure. The total length of the hose to be used is 9 m and the length of the hose to point A is 3.25 m. The intended extraction of whiskey is 10 L/s and minor losses at the entrance are to be neglected. a) Calculate the smallest diameter (in 5 mm interval) required to achieve therequired flow using an iterative solution. Use an initial value of the friction factor, f0 = 0.020.b) Is the equation derived by Swamee and Jain applicable to solve the requireddiameter? Explain.c) Calculate the smallest gage pressure in the hose using the diameter (in 5 mminterval) solved.
