CVG3132 Physical and Chemical Unit Operations of Water and Wastewater Treatment Assignment #1 Due Date: Monday, Feb. 5 th Topic: Material Balance & Reactor Design TA: Dorsa Hejazi (Email: zheja067@uottawa.ca)
1-1. Seawater can be desalinized by reverse osmosis (RO) process. As indicated, the process creates two streams, one more concentrated than incoming seawater, and the other less concentrated. Assume that the density of water is 1 kg/L. a) Calculate the mass of salt and flow rates of 2 streams leaving RO. b) Calculate the recycle ratio defined as mass ratio of recycle stream to the waste stream. RO Sea Water 500 kg/hr 3.1 % Salt Desalinized Water 500 mg/L salt Brine Waste 5.25 % Salt Brine Recycle 4.0 % Salt Assignment #1 - MATERIAL BALANCE & REACTOR DESIGN
1-2. Your stomach is a chemical reactor. If you eat a 325 g hamburger, in response your stomach starts to produce acids at a rate of 12 mL/min as the hamburger is digested. This fluid leaves your stomach at the same rate keeping the volume of the mixture of food and liquid at a constant volume of 1.15 L. The hamburger digestion rate is 1.33 1/hr. a) What kind of ideal reactor would you model your stomach as? State any assumption. b) What fraction of the hamburger’s mass remain undigested after 1 hour after you eat it? Assignment #1 - MATERIAL BALANCE & REACTOR DESIGN

1-3. Lagoons are used to treat municipal wastewater. Suppose that lagoons can be assumed to act as a complete mix reactor. The organic matter (OM) is degraded according to the first-order reaction, with k = 0.25 1/day. If a city produces 5,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day, how much surface area would be needed if the average depth is 2.5 m? The side slope = 1V: 3H (1 vertical to 3 horizontal). OM of the influent is 200 mg/L and the discharge standard concentration is 20 mg/L. State all your assumptions! Also derive the equation for determination of C e based on known values of C e , Q, and V. V C 0 , Q C e , Q Assignment #1 - MATERIAL BALANCE & REACTOR DESIGN
