Q4
A waste effluent of 1.25 m/s with BOD, 183 mg/L, DO=0 mg/L and T
= 20 °C is to be discharged into a river of 8 m³/s flow, BOD, = 2mg/L, DO
-9.14 mg/L and T= 15 °C. At 20 °C, (K₁) is 0.3/day and (K2) is 0.9/day.
The average velocity of the river is 0.8 m/s. 1) Is DO min within the
environmental limitations? 2) At what distance is the maximum deficit
located. 3) Draw the oxygen sag curve? Given the saturation concentration
at 15 °C and at mixed temperature = 10.15 mg/L
Calculate 1- the effluent BOD, of a two-stage trickling filter with the
following flows, BOD, and dimensions? Q-5000 m³/day, influent
BOD,-280 mg/L, volume of first filter-1000 m³, volume of second
filter-800 m³, filter depth-2 m, r₁=1, z=1.25. Also, 2- calculate organic
loading rate (BOD, kg/day) 3- Hydraulic loading (m³/m²/d), 4- efficiency
of each stage 5- overall removal efficiency.
Q3: Determine the force in each member of the shown truss, and state whether they are tension
or compression.
