Transcribed Image Text: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? Assume that
fluoride acts as a conservative substance.
