Total Energy Consumption

The term energy consumption signifies the consumption of electricity. Energy consumption as electricity is a primary demand for households, factories, industries, complexes, and commercial places. According to a report, the total U.S. energy consumption for 2018 was 101 BTU (British Thermal Units). It accounted for 17% of the total energy consumption of the world. The total energy demand for the U.S. as oil equivalent was estimated to be about 6804 kg of oil equivalent.

Am acquifer is recharged by precipitation that infiltrates through fertilised fields. The concentration of nitrate in the groundwater is 1.25mg/l. Th4 nitrate is carried by flowing groundwater into a large fish pond the farmer has on her property. The average linear velocity of the groundwater is 0.087m/day and the aquifer porosity is 0.25. The aquifer has an approximate saturated thickness of 2.55m (depth of saturated soil above bedrock). The flow path into the pond is 87wide. What is the mass loading of nitrate into the pond in units of g/day?

The base of a river in in contact with the top of an aquifer. A truck carrying bags of powdered cyanide is on a bridge crossing the river when a large bump causes one of the bags to fall into the river. The water in the river suddenly becomes polluted by the cyanide with a concentrations of 6.78 mg/L. The aquifer has an average linear ground water velocity of 0.256 m/day. Laboratory analyses data indicates that longitudinal dispersivity can be found through the equation: a = 0.86(log Ls)² where Ls is the length of the straight line path between two points along the path of transport. Find the longitudinal dispersion 108 m downstream from the bridge. Assume that the cyanide solute has a diffusion coefficient of 3.6 x 10 -5 m²/s and the aquifer has a coefficient related to tortuosity (o) equal to 0.8. Find the coefficient of hydrodynamic dispersion.
