Two rivers with different sodium (Na") levels converge and form a single river downstream of the mixing zone. The table below summarizes the Na" concentration (in mg L) in each river and the amount of salt that each caries (in lb/day). Calculate the sodium concentration (in mg/L) downstream of the confluence if the system is at steady state and sodium is considered a conservative substance. Na* (mg/L) Location River #1 Na* load (lb/day) 7,800 5,300 58.0 River #2 150.0

7. (Mass balance, A river with 400 mg/L of salts (a conservative substance) and an upstream flow of 25.0 m³/s receives an agricultural discharge of 5.0 m³/s carrying 2,000 mg/L of salts. The salts quickly become uniformly distributed in the river. A municipality just downstream withdraws water and mixes it with enough pure water (no salt) from another source to deliver water having no more than 500 mg/L salts to its customers. What should be the flowrate mixture ratio F of pure water to river water?
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…
6. Identify the two species within the carbonate system that are the most relevant to the following situations, and identify the associated equilibrium constant: a. Dissolution of an Alka-Seltzer tablet (sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, aspirin) in water to create an effervescent pain-relieving drink. b. The effects of ocean acidification on the health of coral reefs.
Question 4.2
The base of a river in in contact with the top of an aquifer. A truck carrying bags of powdered cyanide is on a bridge crossing the river when a large bump causes one of the bags to fall into the river. The water in the river suddenly becomes polluted by the cyanide with a concentrations of 6.78 mg/L. The aquifer has an average linear ground water velocity of 0.256 m/day. Laboratory analyses data indicates that longitudinal dispersivity can be found through the equation: a = 0.86(log Ls)² where Ls is the length of the straight line path between two points along the path of transport. Find the longitudinal dispersion 108 m downstream from the bridge. Assume that the cyanide solute has a diffusion coefficient of 3.6 x 10 -5 m²/s and the aquifer has a coefficient related to tortuosity (o) equal to 0.8. Find the coefficient of hydrodynamic dispersion.

Plateau Creek in Colorado carries 10 m3/s of water with a Selenium (Se) concentration of 0.003 mg/L. A farmer starts withdrawing 2 m3/s of the creek water to irrigate his land. During irrigation, the water picks up Se from the salts in the soil. One third of the irrigation water is lostto the ground and plants, and the other two-thirds is returned back to Plateau Creek. The irrigation run-off back to the creek contains 1.5 mg/L Se. Se is a conservative, non-reactive substance, and the stream does not pick up more Se from any other source. If the farmer irrigatescontinuously, what will be the steady-state concentration of Se in Plateau Creek, downstream from the farm (after the irrigation run-off returns to the Creek)?
