A large, aerated lagoon is to be used to treat wastewater from a small community. The wastewater flow is 0.05 m³/s. The influent (input) wastewater contaminant concentration is 250 mg/L. The required effluent (output) concentration is 30 mg/L. It was found that the waste degrades according to first order kinetics. The degradation coefficient (k) for the reaction is 0.52 d'. You may assume that the lagoon is completely mixed and that conditions in the system are at steady state. Determine: a) The required volume of the lagoon b) The hydraulic detention time of the lagoon

The gas phase reaction A→B+2C is carried out in a constant volume batch reactor (V=25 L). Twenty moles of A with 80% purity (the remainder is inert) are introduced into the reactor.Calculate the time to reduce the concentration of A to 0.1 mol/L if the reaction is first order with k=0.524 min-1.Calculate the time required to consume 10 mols of A if the reaction is second order and k=0.982 L/mol.h.If the temperature is 150°C, what is the total initial pressure? What is the final total pressure if the reaction occurs in its entirety? Explain why pressure varies in this situation.

The reaction A → R+S with rate -rA = k (0th order) occurs in a batch reactor that operates under isothermal and isobaric conditions (assume that g = 1). The initial reaction mixture contains reactant A only. The half-life of the reaction (i.e., CA = CA0/2) is t1/2 = 10 min. Calculate the time required for the reaction to be completed (i.e., CA = 0). 2. %3D
