1. [Oxygen depletion, Streeter-Phelps equation]. A company intends to discharge a treated wastewater at a volumetric flow rate of 25 % of the average river flow at a specific discharge point. The effluent is estimated to contain 25 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L of dissolved oxygen. Assume there are no other discharges into the river. At a location just upstream the discharge point, the BOD5 in the river is 3 mg/L and the dissolved oxygen is 9 mg/L. The average velocity of the river water is 1.0 m/min and the average flow rate is 15 m³/min. The river has a mean depth of 1.5 m and the average river temperature is 17°C. The BOD degradation rate constant (k₁) is 0.230 d-¹ at 20°C. a) For the data given above, calculate the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration and the distance this occurs downstream from the discharge point; [Ans: Domin = 3.79 mg/L; distance @ DO min = 7.88km]
