Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

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

The removal of phenol in an industrial waste stream by microorganisms can be characterized as a first-order reaction. The reaction rate coefficient was measured in a batch system, k = 0.05 min¯¹. The proposed reactor size is constrained by existing process equipment to a square area 20 x 20 m. The effective liquid depth can be no greater than 2 m. For a flowrate of 10 m³/min, what is the most efficient reactor configuration: a single CMF, 4 CMF's in series, or a PF reactor? Support your decision with computations.
Poorly treated municipal wastewater is continuously discharged directly into a lake. The discharge from the wastewater plant into the lake occurs at a flow of Qd = 1 m3/hr. The concentration of phosphate (PO43, M = 95 g/mol) in the discharge flow (Cxd) that is decaying with first-order kinetics is 100 mg/L. The lake is a well-mixed water body of 100 m3. (Phosphate is naturally uptaken by algae with a first- order decay rate constant equal to 0.20/day.) The concentration of phosphate in the incoming river (Cx,r) is 10 mg P/L. The incoming river flow rate is Q, = 10 m3/hr. %3D a) Which of the following equations represent the correct mass balance equation?

Question #5. The fluoride feeder at the Lemieux Island WTP breaks down. As shown below, the well mixed tank flows into a 5 km long distribution pipe. The volume of the tank is 2.5 m³ and the treatment system serves 190 000 people who each use 200 L/d. The rest of the necessary data is provided in the figure. If the fluoride concentration in the tank is 1.0 mg/L when the feed stops, how long until the concentration of fluoride is reduced to 0.01 mg/L at the end of the distribution pipe?
