One of the drawbacks for treating domestic wastewater in an activated sludge treatment is its lowered temperature during winter seasons. The efficiency of biological treatment decreases with a decrease in water temperature due to slow microbial growth. One approach to overcome this drawback is to heat water. Assume that a wastewater with a flow rate of 6000 m³/d will be heated to increase its temperature from 15 °C to 25 °C in an aim to improve the biological treatment efficiency in an activated sludge treatment during winter season. Based on information given in the problem; a) Calculate the daily heat necessary as kcal/d to increase the temperature of wastewater from 10 °C to 25 °C. b) Estimate the cost of heating as TL per cubic meter (m³) wastewater treated if coal is used as an energy source. Do you think the cost you calculated for heating wastewater is feasible? Heat of coal = 7800 kcal/kg c) Assume 2 m³ of wastewater is evaporated daily during heating process, calculate the annual heat loss through evaporation as kcal/y.

***(a=2 b=1) The larger impurities and cloudy sediments in the water of aquarium may be removed by means of filtering, as shown in the figure. For this reason, the water in the aquarium must be recirculated through the filter at a volumetric flow rate of 0.0004ab m3/s. The water in the aquarium is forced through the filter by using the pressurized air from an aerotor pump. The cross-sectional areas of the glass tube and plastic tube are 0.0001ab m2 and 0.00002ab m2 respectively. Assume that densities of water, air and air-water mixture are 99a,b kg/m3, 1.1ab kg/m3 and 9ab kg/m3 respectively. Atmospheric pressure is 10ab25 Pa. Neglecting all the losses, determine i-the pressure difference that must be created by the aerator pump ii-the volumetric flow rate of the air through the plastic tube iii- the power that must delivered by the aerator pump for overall efficiency %6a,b. Solve the problem by making the necessary assumptions and drawing the schematic figure.
Heat transfer is of critical importance in various industrial applications, including manufacturing. During machining, both the cutting tool and the workpiece will be significantly heated by friction heating. The heating of the cutting tool will reduce the tool hardness and strength, deteriorate the cutting quality, and shorten the tool life. Therefore, it is essential to prevent the overheating of the cutting tool during machining. Coolants are an instrumental part of machining to help cool the tool and the workpiece, provide lubricant, flush away chips, and prevent corrosion. The task of this project is to design the coolant to maintain the maximum machine tool temperature below 100 °C during the side milling process. As shown in the figure below, the machine tool has a diameter of 10 mm (D) and a length of 5 cm. The tool material is M2 high speed tool steel (T11302) and the workpiece is aluminum 6061. The spindle speed (w) is 2000 RPM and the cutting speed (v) is 50 mm/min. The feed…
