Please upload your full solution to the following problem. A series of experiments was conducted in a batch reactor to assess the disinfection by chlorine of the protozoan Giardia lamblia. In each experimental run, the concentration of free available chlorine was varied and the time required to kill 99 percent of the organisms was determined. The results showed that a Ct value of 100 mg-min/L was sufficient to achieve 2-log removal. Assume that the Chick- Watson model holds with n = 1. A. What value is the psuedo-first order disinfection rate coefficient k (min ¹) when the chlorine concentration is 1 mg/L? B. At a chlorine concentration of 1 mg/L and a contact time of 10 minutes, what fraction of the G. lamblia organisms would be killed? C. At a chlorine concentration of 10 mg/L and a contact time of 5 minutes, estimate the fraction of the G. lamblia organisms that would be killed. 4
A power plant in rough terrain has a 100-m stack with an inside radius of 1 m. The plant emits 300 g/s of SO2 from the stack with an exit velocity of 10 m/s at a temperature of 120oC. Ambient temperature is 6oC and the temperature increases at a rate of 2 K/km. At 10 m above ground, surface windspeed is 1.5 m/s on a mostly cloudy night. Find the concentration (mg/m3) of SO2: Directly downwind at a distance of 2 km. At a point located 2 km downwind and 0.1 km off the downwind axis. At the point downwind where it is a maximum. Approximately how far from the stack does this occur?

Q20. Calculate the first-order reaction rate constant in days for the given data. The number of CFSTRS in series are 5. The influent BODS is 160 g/m and final effluent BOD5 is 10 g/m. The hydraulic residence time of each reactor is 1 h. Determine the detention time of a PFR that will produce same effluent quality as that from the series of reactors.

An activated-sludge system is to be used for secondary treatment of 15,000 m3/d of municipal wastewater. After primary clarification, the BOD is 130 mg/L, and it is desired to have not more than 5 mg/L of soluble BOD in the effluent. A completely mixed reactor is to be used, and pilot-plant analysis has established the following kinetic values: Y = 0.6 kg/kg, kd = 0.07 d-1. Assuming an MLSS concentration of 2,750 mg/L and an underflow concentration of 11,000 mg/L from the secondary clarifier, determine the followings. [Use θc (MCRT or SRT) = 10 day.] 5.1. The volume of the reactor. 5.2. The mass and volume of solids that must be wasted each day. 5.3. The recycle ratio. Hint: θc = VX/QwXu : MCRT (mean cell-residence time) [or SRT (solids retention time)]; average time microbes spend in reactor = ratio of total biomass in reactor to biomass wasted per given time; currently most commonly used design parameter F/Mv: inversely proportional to SRT; ≈U (cell's specific substrate…
