Mechanical Processes

In civil engineering, the materials have to undergo a series of manufacturing processes before using them in construction and structural applications. These manufacturing processes form the foundation stone of mechanical processes. Some of the civil engineering materials such as bars, metallic beams, metallic columns, surveying equipment, earthmovers, overhead cranes, structural and construction components, and even cement that is the most fundamental construction component need to undergo different manufacturing processes before they are ready to use. These processes are mechanical.

The discharge from the Renenutet sugar beet plant causes the DO at the critical point to fall to 4.0 mg/L. The Meskhenet Stream has a negligible BOD and the initial deficit after the river and wastewater have mixed is zero. What DO will result if the concentration of the waste(L_w) is reduced by 50%? Assume that the flows remain the same and that the saturation value of DO is 10.83 mg/L in both cases.

A municipality with a population of 120,000 is under state mandate to recycle 20% of the solid waste generated by its citizens. The remaining 80% will be landfilled. The per capita waste generation rate is 2.2 kg/day. The landfilled waste in-place maximum compacted density is 820 kg/m3, and the soil-cover-to-compacted-waste ratio is 1:4 by volume. The landfill covers a rectangular area 400 m by 500 m. The maximum landfill height cannot exceed 25 m with 1:1 side slopes. What is the operating life of the landfill?
