19. As an engineer, suppose you are directed to design a pumping system to safely discharge a
plant will be mixed with freshwater from the lake, and this mixture is to be pumped into the
center of the lake. You realize that the more water you mix with the waste, the more dilute
toxic industrial waste into a municipal reservoir. The concentrated wastewater from the
waten oc and thus the smaller the impact on the fish in the lake. On the other hand, the more
the onou use, the more it costs in electricity for pumping. Your objective is to determine
Cte optimum amount of water to pump so the overall cost is a minimum.
Assume that the cost of pumping is given by the expression C,
rday) depends on the pumping rate Q [gallons per minute, or gpm] of the water used
10 Q2. The cost C

to dilute the industrial waste.
Now, suppose that some biologists have found that as more and more water dilutes the
waste, the fish loss C [$/day] can be expressed as Csh = 2250 – 150 Q.

With this information, construct a graph, with pumping rate on the abscissa showing
the pumping cost, the fish-loss cost, and total cost on the ordinate. For the scale, plot 0 to 15
gallons per minute for flow rate.
Determine both the minimum cost and the corresponding flow rate. Indicate the loca-
tion of this answer on your graph.
