2.52. A water sample has been analyzed and found to have a BOD, (20°C) of 7.00 g/m³ and a reaction rate constant of 0.20 d ¹. Determine the 6-d BOD value at 15°C. Assume the temperature coefficient is equal to 1.047. If the sample contains 3.0 g/m³ of ammonia nitrogen (3 g N/m³), determine the total ultimate oxygen demand including nitrogenous and carbonaceous concentrations.

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:
A stream containing no biochemical O2 demand (obviously a hypothetical situation) has a DO of 5.00 mg/L and a flow rate of 8.70 m3/s. The temperature of the stream is 15 degrees Celsius. The average velocity in the stream is 0.174 m/s. The average depth is 5 m. Determine the reaeration coefficient and the rate of reaeration.
The discharge from a food processing plant is the only source of BOD in a river. The oxygensag curve shows a minimum DO concentration of 3.0 mg/L. The DO concentrationimmediately downstream of the discharge is at saturation (10.0 mg/L). Other characteristics ofthe system are as follows: u = 60 miles/day; kr = 0.80 days-1; kd = 0.20 days-1.a. Currently the food processing plant does not treat the waste. What percent removal ofthe BOD would be required to ensure that the DO of the river at any locationdownstream of the plant is always greater than 5.0 mg/L?b. How far downstream would the lowest DO levels occur?c. What ultimate BOD concentration of the mixture of the river and waste immediatelydownstream of the discharge would result in a minimum DO concentration of 5.0mg/L?

1. Oil that has a density of 880 kg/m3 flows under a head of 30 m. The pipe that the oil flows through is 3000 m long and 0.35 m in diameter. Due to the cooling along the span of the pipe the viscosity changes, this may be taken as 0.57 kg/m-s over the first 1500 m and 1.14 kg/m-s over the second 1500 m. Confirm that laminar flow conditions exist and calculate the flow in dm/s. Neglect entry and exit losses. Answer 37.185 dm'/s
