Calculate the temperature downstream of a waste discharge outfall if the discharge flow rate is 12 MGD and its temperature is 26C, and you estimate the receiving water has a flow rate of 3.5 m /s and a temperature of 15.7C under low flow conditions (your worst-case scenario). Your Answer: Answer units
A wastewater flow of 10,000 m³/d containing 400 mg/L BOD5 is to be treated in a rotating biological contactor (RBC) system. To attain an effluent BOD5 of 20 mg/L (50% soluble), the overall surface loading will be 7.5 kg BOD5/1000 m²-d and the first-stage surface loading will be 45 kg BOD5/1000 m²-d. Determine the minimum total number of standard shafts (9300 m² surface area per shaft) needed for the RBC system.

6. A company spilled a contaminant that got into the water distribution system of a small town, which has an average flow of 100,000 gpd. The contaminant infiltrated a pipe 1,500 ft from the storage tank, and the concentration at the infiltration point is 5 mg/L. The storage tank has a volume of 125,000 gallons and the first user is 500 ft from the storage tank. Assume velocity of 2.5 ft/s in pipes, and a rate constant of 3/day. What is the concentration at the first user?
