You are provided with the following information about a municipal wastewater treatment plant. A treatment plant uses the traditional activated-sludge process. Assume the microorganisms are 60% efficient at converting food to biomass, the organisms have a first-order death rate constant of 0.06/day, and the microbes reach half of their maximum growth rate when the BOD5 concentration is 10 mg/L. There are 200,000 people in the community (their wastewater production is 225 L/day-capita, 0.1 kg BOD5/capita-day). The effluent standard is BOD5 = 20 mg/L and TSS = 20 mg/L. Suspended solids were measured as 4,000 mg/L in a wastewater sample obtained from the biological reactor, 16,500 mg/L in the secondary sludge, 230 mg/L in the plant influent, and 110 mg/L in the primary clarifier effluent. SRT is equal to 4.5 days. (a) what is the design volume of the aeration basin (m3)?
(b what is the plant’s aeration period (days)?
(c) How many kg of secondary dry solids need to be processed daily from the treatment plants?
(d) if the sludge wastage rate (Qw) is increased in the plant, will the solids retention time go up, go down, or remain the same?
(e) Determine the F/M ratio in units of kg BOD5/kg MLVSS-day.
(f) What is the mean cell residence time?

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
