3. Particulate matter (PM) from vehicle exhaust is entering a gym through an open window and mixing with air discharged from the air conditioning system. The air conditioning system discharges 15 m³/s of air with a low PM concentration of only 0.20 mg/m³. The PM concentration in the air entering through the window is 4.50 mg/m³. If the mixed air exiting the gym has a PM concentration of 0.75 mg/m², what is the estimated flow rate of the air entering the window of the gym?
The residence time for Lake O is 52.8 yrs. The lake is contaminated with a pollutant 1.5 times greater than the John Holmes can survive in. How long does it take before the John Holmes can be reintroduced into O Lake assuming that only clean water is entering the lake?
B- Suggest at least one recoverable pollutant that can be recycled from each of the following industrial wastewaters: (1) Textile wastewater, (2) Mining wastewater, (3) Electroplating wastewater.

5. You are asked to design a single media filtration system for a drinking water facility. The design flow rate is 20 mgd (million gallons per day). The ideal filter velocity for your system is 8 m/hr. You design a set of filters to be used in parallel. Each filter box has a surface area of 50 m². a. How many filters do you need to construct? b. Estimate the (clean-filter) head loss in kPa? c. What mass removal (filter efficiency) would you expect for an influent stream that contains equal parts (by mass) of 1, 10 and 100 um particles? You can assume an adhesion efficiency a = 0.7. Sand Effective Size (mm) 0.8 Uniformity Coefficient 1.2 Grain Porosity Density (g/cm³) 2.6 0.4 Layer Thickness (m) 1.5
Environmental Engineering: A lake with a constant volume of 10*106 m3 is fed by a pollution-free stream with a flow rate of 50m3/s. A factory dumps 5m3/s of a nonconservative waste with a concentration of 100mg/L into the lake. The pollutant has a reaction coefficient rate, k, of 0.25/day. Assuming the pollutant is well mixed in the lake, find the steady state concentration of the pollutant in the lake.
A city wishes to discharge wastewater primary effluent to a river which supports a trout. The state requires the city to show that the trout population is protected. Trout require a minimum of 4 mg/l of dissolved oxygen to survive. Determine the minimum downstream dissolved oxygen concentration from the following information about the wastewater discharge and river. Does the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration meet the requirements? Wastewater discharge=0.45m3/s, river flow rate= 8.5 m3/s, river cross-sectional area=19m2, dissolved Oxygen concentration in the wastewater= 0.2mg/l, dissolved oxygen content of the river upstream = 8.1mg/l, saturation dissolved oxygen concentration at 20 C= 9.0 mg/l, BOD concentration in wastewater = 85 mg/l, BOD concentration upstream in the river= 0.2 mg/l, BOD decay constant = 0.2 d-1, and the reaeration constant for the river= 0.4 d-1.
Find the estimated annual emissions of NOx, VOCs, SO2 and PM for the United States for two historic years (say 2000 and 2019) with information about major categories (e.g., mobile, non-mobile, EGU, area, etc.). Likewise, find the CO, NO2, ozone and PM2.5 concentrations for similar years in your city of choice (look at annual PM2.5 and 4th highest 8-hr ozone, you can choose which CO and NO2 metric to consider). Discuss how the emissions have changed by category and link that to how the concentrations have changed.
You are provided with the following information about a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This plant uses the traditional activated-sludge process. Assume the microorganisms are 55 percent efficient at converting food to biomass, the organisms have a first-order death rate constant of 0.050/day, and the microbes reach half of their maximum growth rate when CE 3059 Page 2 of 2the BOD5 concentration is 10.0 mg/L. There are 150,000 people in the community (their wastewater production is 225 L/day-capita, 0.10 kg BOD5/capita-day). The effluent standard is BOD5 = 20 mg/L and TSS = 20 mg/L. Suspended solids were measured as 4,300 mg/L in a wastewater sample obtained from the aeration tank, 15,000 mg/L in the secondary sludge, 200 mg/L in the plant influent, and 100 mg/L in the primary clarifier effluent. The mean cell residence time is 4.0 days. a. What is the design volume of the aeration basin in cubic meters?b. What is the aeration basin detention time? c. How many kg of secondary dry…
