A sewage lagoon that has a surface area of 8 ha and a depth of 1 m is receiving 7571 m³/d of sewage containing 105 mg/L of biodegradable contaminant. At steady state, the effluent from the lagoon must not exceed 20 mg/L of biodegradable contaminant. Assuming the lagoon is well mixed and that there are no losses or gains of water in the lagoon other than the sewage input, what biodegradation reaction rate coefficient (d¹) must be achieved for a first-order reaction? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Draw a control volume with input and output streams labeled appropriately. Write out the general mass balance equation as the starting point for calculating the answer. Type your numeric answer and submit

A sewage lagoon that has a surface area of 8 ha and a depth of 1 m is receiving 7571 m³/d of sewage containing 105 mg/L of
biodegradable contaminant. At steady state, the effluent from the lagoon must not exceed 20 mg/L of biodegradable
contaminant. Assuming the lagoon is well mixed and that there are no losses or gains of water in the lagoon other than the
sewage input, what biodegradation reaction rate coefficient (d¹) must be achieved for a first-order reaction? (Round your answer
to 3 decimal places.) Draw a control volume with input and output streams labeled appropriately. Write out the general mass
balance equation as the starting point for calculating the answer.
