For an SBR process, the sludge takes 45 minutes to settle and the depth of liquid in the reactor is 40% of the depth of the reactor after draw-off to prevent disturbing the settled sludge. The draw-off period takes an additional 20 minutes after the settle face. An idle time of 10 minutes is to be allowed. What is the required volume of each of the tanks in 2-tank and 3-tank SBR systems to handle a flow of 55000 M cubed per day to provide a react time of 60 minutes?

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.
During the production of biodiesel, glycerin is a waste product and is collected by gravity separation because its SG (1.26) is much higher than that of biodiesel. Glycerin is withdrawn from the bottom of the separation tank through a pipe that has p₁ = 350 kPa gage, where D = 70 cm and the flowrate is 680 L/s. Find the pressure at section 2, which is 0.8 m higher and where the diameter has been reduced to d = 35 cm. Assume the flow is inviscid.

A water treatment plant is required to process 28800 m³/d or raw water (density = 1000 kg/m³, kinematic viscosity = 106 m²/s). The rapid mixing tank imparts a velocity gradient of 900 s¹ to blend 35 mg/l of alum with the flow for a detention time of 2 minutes. The power input (W) required for rapid mixing is..
During the test of a Pelton wheel, the pressure at the end of the 6.10" diameter nozzle was 515 psig when the flow is 2,615 ft/min. The peripheral coefficient is 0.46, the turbine specific speed is 6.20 rpm, and the penstock diameter is 1.5 feet. If the mechanical efficiency is 86% and electrical efficiency is 85%, determine the diameter of wheel in feet.

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…
A steam turbine is to operate on a simple regenerative cycle. Steam is supplied dry saturated at 40 bar, and is exhausted to a condenser at 0.07 bar. The condensate is pumped to a pressure of 3.5 bar at which it is mixed with bleed steam from the turbine at 3.5 bar. The resulting water which is at saturation temperature is then pumped to the boiler. For the ideal cycle sketch the process on the T-s diagram and calculate, neglecting feed pump work,The amount of bleed steam required per kg of supply steamThe thermal efficiency of the plantThe specific steam consumption
