Total suspended particulate matter concentration in ambient air is to be measured using a high- volume sampler. The filter used for this purpose had an initial dry weight of 9.787 g. The filter was mounted in the sampler and the initial air flow rate through the filter was set at 1.5 m³/min. Sampling continued for 24 hours. The airflow after 24 hours was measured to be 1.4 m³/min. The dry weight of the filter paper after 24 hours sampling was 10.283 g. Assuming a linear decline in the air flow rate during sampling, what is the 24 hour average TSP concentration in the ambient air (in 10-6 g/m³?

7. The emissions from a stack were measured by collecting a sample on a filter. The sampler was operated for 15 minutes, had an inlet area of 12.5 cm2, an inlet velocity of 20 m/s, and collected 0.23 grams of PM. The stack gas had a temperature of 340 K, pressure of 1.018 atm, and volumetric flow of 245 scm/sec. Determine the PM concentration [ug/dscm], and the total rate of emissions [kg/day]. dscm: dry standard cubic meter

A raw sewage sample was brought in for total suspended solids and volatile solids analysis. A portion of the sample was poured into a tared evaporating dish and weighed. The sample was then heated at 105°C for 4 hours, weighed, heated at 550°C overnight, and weighed again. The data are as follows: • Tare wt. 42.9073g• Wt of sample 104.4680g• 105 °C wt. 45.4140g• 550 °C wt. 43.3236g What is the TSS in g/L? What percent of the solids are volatile?
The following data was obtained from a test program designed to evaluate a new diffused-air aeration system. Using these data, determine the value of KLa at 20oC and the equilibrium dissolved-oxygen concentration in the test tank. The test program was conducted using tap water at a temperature of 24oC.
