(a.) Predict the trophic state of a 10,000 m² (surface area) reservoir that is in steady state and receives a total of 100 kg of Phosphorus per year from runoff from its watershed. The amount of Phosphorus leaving the system over the dam leaving the reservoir is 80 kg of Phosphorus per year.

In a constant head permeability test, if the discharge coming out of the sample is 0.35 3 cm³/s find the coefficient of permeability if the length and area of cross section of the sample is 30 cm and 250 cm² respectively. The head loss per unit length of the sample can be assumed as 0.25.
Free settling rate of a sludge is 0.25 cm/min. Using an original height of 25 cm, the sludge settledto a height of 18 cm after the free‐settling period. The sludge was found to settle to a height of10 cm after 110 min. This particular sludge was found to settle completely to a height of 4 cm.Calculate the time to settle to a height of 1/5 of its original height in a cylindrical tank whosediameter is 85% of its depth if it is 85% full. Consider 100 cubic feet of sludge in the tank.

Flow velocity of water 1.25 cm/sec is observed in a continuous flow settling tank 4.5 m deep and 60 m long. The diameter of the particles of specific gravity 2.65 that may be effectively removed is (Assume temperature is 25°C and kinematic viscosity of water v = 0.01 cm2/s).
Enter T next to the following true statements and F next to the false statements. Settling of suspended solids in secondary clarifiers is typical of Type II sedimentation. Thickening prior to digestion is common in many wastewater treatment plants because it reduces the size needed for the digester. Based on a temperature of 30°C, a design mean cell residenee time of about 20 days would be reasonable for a completely-mixed anaerobic digester without recycle. A volatile suspended solid is defined as an organic solid that can be oxidized to CO2 (g) at 250°C. The theoretical yield coefficient can be estimated from the observed yield coefficient if the specific growth rate constant is known. Air flotation would likely be more efficient for thickening waste activated sludge than primary sludge, while the opposite would be true for gravity thickening. The net mass of cells produced in the activated sludge process equals the total cell mass synthesized minus the cell mass wasted as waste…
