A centrifugal pump discharging 10 lps against 25 m of head and operating with an efficiency of 60% requires 4.1 kW at 1000 rpm. What is the theoretical discharge if the speed is increased to 1500 rpm assuming the efficiency remains constant? What is the theoretical head and kW at 1500 rpm?
A town having a population of 1, 00, 000 and rate of water supply as 150 l/day, disposes off its sewage successfully by land treatment. The area of land available is 180 hectares. If 80% of water supplied is converted into sewage, and includes 50% area provided for rest and rotation, then calculate the consuming capacity of soil in m3/hectare/day
A wastewater treatment plant treats a wastewater at a flowrate of 10 million liters per day. The wastewater has zero dissolved oxygen when it leaves the plant. The NPDES requirements include a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 2 mg/L in the discharge to protect the river. As an engineer, you must design a reaeration system to provide a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 3 mg/L (using a 1.5 safety factor). Use the reaeration data for the reactor with the largest volume to design a system. Assume each reactor that you used in lab represents the capacity of one aerator. How many aerators will be required to reaerate the water?
Question 1 5 points Save An The city of Waterville has experienced the growth in population as shown below. Year > 1980 1990 2000 2010 Population 7300 9500 11900 14000 The per capita average daily water use (L/d) in 1990 was 300 L/d and is NOT expected to increase in the future. It is expected that the current WTP would reach its capacity in the Year 2020. For a 30 Year design period (Design Year = 2050), calculate the following A) Population assuming arithmetic increase. B) Population assuming geometric increase

A community had a population of 200,000 in 2010 and it is expected that this will increase to 260,000 by 2030. The water treatment capacity in 2010 is 43 mgd (i.e., million gallons per day). A survey showed that the average per capita water use rate was 180 gpcd. Estimate the community’s water requirements in 2030 assuming (a) no change in use rate and (b) a reduced use rate of 160 gpcd. Will expanded treatment facilities be needed by 2030 for condition (a) and for condition (b)?
Estimate roughly the size of a supply conduit leading to an adequate distributing reservoir serving (i) relatively small residential community of 10,000 people, (ii) a relatively large industrial community of 400,000 people The following are the design conditions specifically for a North American region: a. The average daily water consumption for small communities with populations of 10,000 or less = 100 gpcd (378.5 Lpcd). b. Average daily water consumption for communities with populations of greater than 400,000 or less = 150 gpcd (567.8 Lpcd). c. Maximum daily water consumption is about 50% greater than average daily water consumption. The design water velocity in the circular conduit when flowing full = 4 ft/s = 1.22 m/s. What is the maximum daily consumption for 400,000 people?
(d)ln a residential area of 250, 000 peoples, the specific water demand is estimated at 150 l/c/d which includes leakage. Determine the demand in 20 years if the assumed annual demand growth is 2.5. Compare the results by applying the linear and exponential models.

An industry generates 4 million gallons per day (MGD) (that is 15,000 m^3/ day) of liquid industrial wastewater having BOD5 of 1000 mg/L and first order reaction rate constant of 2.0/day. Because of the high BOD, there is a plan to build an industrial pre-treatment system at an industrial park. Effluent from the pre-treatment will be discharged into the city sewer for final polishing at the city wastewater treatment plant. Determine: a. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 5000 m^3 continous flow stirred tank reactor. b. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 5000 m^3 plug flow reactor. c. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 2500 m^3 continous flow stirred tank reactor followed by one 2500 m^3 plug flow reactor. d. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 2500 m^3 plug flow reactor followed by one 2500 m^3 continous flow stirred tank reactor. e.

A city of 20,000 people disposes of 1.05 m3/s of treated sewage that still has an ultimate BOD of 28.0 mg/L and 1.8 mg/L DO into a river. Upstream from the outfall, the river has a flow rate of 7.08 m3/s and a velocity of 0.37 m/s. At this point, the ultimate BOD and the DO in the river are 3.6 and 7.6 mg/L, respectively. The saturation value of DO (at the temperature of the river) is 8.5 mg/L. The deoxygenation coefficient is 0.61/day, and the reaeration coefficient is 0.76/day. Assume complete mixing and the velocity in the river is the same upstream and downstream of the outfall. What is the oxygen deficit and the ultimate BOD just downstream from the outfall (just after mixing, before any reaction can occur)?
