Consider the concentration of lead (Pb) in a lake, using a simplified CMFR model. The lake has a river flowing into it and another flowing out of it, and the water level in the lake is constant. The major sources of lead in the lake are direct deposition from the atmosphere and surface runoff carried into the lake with the river. The major removal process is river outflow. Leaded gasoline was widely used for about 35 years (roughly 1950-1985), leading to a high influx of lead into the lake during those years.

Lake Volume = 2 x 10^9 m3
River inflow = 1.2 x 10^8 m3/y
Pb, in lake water, 1950 = 2 ppb
Pb in influent water, 1950-1985 = 30 ppb
Pb in influent water, 1985-2050 = 5 ppb
Pb deposition from atmosphere
1950-1985= 3,000 kg/y
1985-2050= 300 kg/y

Derive the equation that describe the concentration in the lake of water as function of time beginning in 1950.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
