Chapter 6, Problem 6.7P
Suppose a wet mixture of old bread, leaves, and soil is placed in a pile 1 m tall, and a long thermometer is struck in the middle of the pile. Every other day. the pile is aerated by throwing the mixture into a new pile. Draw a graph showing the temperature in the pile during the first two weeks and explain why these temperature changes occurs.

3. A tank initially contains 210 litres of fresh water. Brine containing 2.6 N/litre of dissolve
salt runs into the tank at the rate of 9 litres/min and the mixture kept uniform by stirring
runs out of the same rate. How long will it take for the quantity of the salt in the tank to
be 190 N? In 12 min, determine the concentration of the salt in the mixture.
9. A tank initially contains 200 litres of fresh water. Brine containing 2.5 N/litre of
dissolved salt runs into the tank at the rate of 8 litres/min and the mixture kept uniform
by stirring runs out at the same rate. How long will it take for the quantity of salt in the
tank to be 180 N? In 10 mins, determine the concentration of the salt in the mixture.
You place a 20 g sample of solid waste in a drying oven overnight and find the
mass in the morning (after the moisture has been evaporated) to be 16.2 g. A 1 g (wet) sample is also placed in a 1L water jacket bomb calorimeter and 0.18 g of ash remains in the sample cup after combustion. The temperature in the calorimeter is raised by 2.17 ˚C.
Calculate the heat value on a wet weight basis, dry weight basis, and on a moisture and ash-free basis. Convert your values to BTU/lb

- 1. The solids content of a stream water sample is to be determined. The total solids content is determined by placing a portion of the sample into a porcelain evaporating dish, drying the sample. at 105°c, and igniting the residue by placing the dried sample in a muffle furnace at 105°C. The following masses are recorded: • mans of empty dish: 50.326 g mass of dish and ignited solids: 50,383 g P=118,400 g - 50,336 g = 68.074 ml mass of dish and sample: 118.400 g mass of dish and dry solids: 50. 437 g a) The total solids content is: (50.437g-50.326 g) b) The total volatile solids content is: c) The fixed solids content is:arrow_forward4.15 A gas-condensate reservoir has an areal extent of 200 acres, an average thickness of 15 ft, an average porosity of 0.18, and an initial water saturation of 0.23.
