Concept explainers

Fluid Materials

In general terms, anything that flows can be termed as a fluid. In other words, a fluid is any substance that cannot resist shear forces and deforms continuously under the application of external shear forces. Fluid materials differ completely from solid materials such as metals and alloys. For instance, if we consider two infinitesimally small cross-sectional areas of fluid materials and solid materials, and apply shear forces to these elements, both the elements will undergo deformation. Upon releasing the shear force, the element of the solid materials will regain its original orientation, but the element of the fluid materials will keep on deforming continuously under the action of the shear force.

An environmental analyst wants to determine the amount of BOD in Pasig River. Prior to incubation, the sample was diluted to 30:300. The laboratory analysis shows that the initial DO of the sample is 20 mg/L and after 5 days this drops to 15 mg/L. If the BOD5 limit for Pasig River is 7 mg/L, determine which of the following statements is true. a) The BOD5 conforms with the standard, therefore the water is not polluted. b) The BOD5 is way below the allowable limit, therefore the water is polluted. c) The BOD5 is exactly within the allowable limit, therefore the water is not polluted. d) The BOD5 exceeded the allowable limit, therefore the water is polluted.
An oil storage area, abandoned 19 yr ago, had spilled oil on the ground and saturated the soil at a concentration of perhaps 400 mg/kg of soil.

How long will it take for the soil reach the acceptable contamination oof 1mg/kg at a first-order rate of reaction?
