QUESTION 4 A settling analysis is run on a Type 1 suspension in a laboratory column with a port of 1.9m below the suspension surface. The data obtained are shown below. Time (min) TSS (conc,mg/L) 0 220 3 116 5 98 10 75 20 35 40 10 60 2 What is the theoretical removal efficiency in a settling basin for an overflow of 440 m2/m.day?
The Horton's infiltration equation for a basin is given by f= 6 + 16e-2t, where 'f' is in mm/hr and tis in hours. What are the values of fo, f and k? If a storm occurs on this basin with an intensity of more than 22 mm/hr, determine the depth of infiltration for first 45 minutes and the average infiltration rate for the first 75 minutes?
The infiltration capacity in basin is represented by Horton’s equation as fp=5.0 + e-5t where fp is in cm/h and t is in hours. Assuming the infiltration to take place at capacity rates in a storm of 100 minutes duration, estimate the depth of infiltration in the first two hour of the storm the second two hour of the storm
To determine the daily evaporation at Taal lake, a USWB Class A evaporation pan is maintained. The water level in the pan is 200mm at the beginning and is observed every day. Water is added if the water falls to about 17.5cm to the same depth during the first day. Estimate the daily pan evaporation for the 14-day period for which readings are summarized in the following table.
6. After your flash mix the water was sent to a clarification basin that was 24 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall. What was the detention time in hours of 0.43 MGD? 5.4 hours 4.3 hours 3.8 hours 2.3 hours After the water leaves your sedimentation basin, it is ready for filtration. Your two filters measure 10 feet in diameter. What is the filtration rate is gpm for your flow of 0.43 MGD? 19 gpm/sq/ft 29 gpm/sq/ft 39 gpm/sq/ft 49 gpm/sq/ft You have had a filtration breakthrough (failure) and have brought your old roughing filtration system on line. The old filter is 8 feet square and 4 feet deep. What is the filtration rate in gpm/sq/ft for your flow of 0.43 MGD? 10.33 gpm/sq/ft 8.55 gpm/sq/ft 5.99 gpm/sq/ft 4.66 gpm/sq/ft
A single-story home with infiltration rate of 0.5 ach has 200 m2 of floor space and a total volume of 500m3. If 0.6 pCi/m2-s of radon is emitted from the soil and enters the house, estimate the steady-state indoor radon concentration. Picocurie is a common unit for radon measurement, use Table 7.14 as necessary. Report answers in pCi/L.
