3.2. In a water treatment process, we use a biological process to remove biodegradable organic matter. The organic matter is measured as the BOD, where the optimal BOD of effluent should be less than 20 mgl-. Let B represent a fuzzy set "good effluent" on the universe of optical BOD values (20, 40, 60) as defined by the membership function 0.5 0.8 1.0 60 40 20 The retention time is critical to a bioreactor; we try to find the retention time, measured in days. Let T represent a fuzzy set called optimal retention time on the universe of days (6, 8, 10) as given by the membership function 0.9 0.6 0.4 HI = 10* 8 The utilization rate of organic food indicates the level of the treatment in the biological process, and this rate is measured on a universe of fractions from 0 to 1, where 1 is optimal. Fuzzy set U will represent "high utilization rates," as defined by the membership function 0,8 0.6 0.4 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 We can define the following relations: R = B x T, which reflects how retention…
A new analytical method to detect pollutants (D) in water is being tested. This new method of chemical analysis is important because, if adopted, it could be used to detect three different contaminants-organic pollutants (O), volatile solvents (V), and chlorinated compounds (C)-instead of having to use a single test for each pollutant. The makers of the test claim that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 99.7% accuracy, volatile solvents with 99.95% accuracy, and chlorinated components with 89.7% accuracy. If a pollutant is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly. (a) What is the probability that the test will signal? (b) If the test signals, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present? Note: Use the notations in the brackets to…
1. Three levels of water treatment have been presented in the Power Point presentation. Prepare a table which lists a. The name of each level of treatment. b. A description of the type of treatment used at each level. c. The targeted pollutants removed at each level. d. The typical removal efficiency at each level for each targeted pollutant.
. You are working at the Loy Farm and are tasked with analyzing water supply for agriculture purposes. Answer the following questions: a) You run an experiment to estimate the water flow rate of the drip irrigation system in the Elon High Tunnel greenhouse. You randomly place 10 small 1-quart paint buckets in the soil along the irrigation system. The table below summarizes the water volume collected in the buckets. The irrigation system was running for 2 hrs. Each bucket has a diameter of 11.2 cm, and volume was measured in milliliters (ml). What is the average drip flow in the irrigation system in inches/hr? (Hint: look up the formula for the area of a circle if you don't already know it).

9.7. A small lake with a volume equal to 500,000 m³ is approximately completely mixed. The lake is used as a fishing pond by local residents, but pesticide-containing runoff from local farms may cause damage to the fish population. Natural flow through the system is 1000 m³/d and agricultural runoff is 200 m³/d for 200 d. Pesticide concentration in the runoff is 0.1 g/m³. When will the concentration increase to the 0.02 g/m³ level known to be toxic to the fish? dad by 3 1
Ground limestone can be added to soil to make it less acidic. Would you expect the pH or limestone in a water solution to be less then or greater than 7
It is June in Fresno and the officials at the water district have just reduced your irrigation ration by 26%. In the field, you determine that the water potential in your soil is -1.68 MPa while the water potential of your crop is -1.62 MPa. Question A. Is your crop able to take up water from the soil? Explain. Question B. It is now late August and your soil water potential is -2.10 MPa, fortunately, you have been granted one magic wish in altering the physiology of your crop to increase its ability to take up water, however, you must choose from one of the options below. Fill in the values denoted by the ? as needed, and select the option that will cause the greatest water uptake by your crop. Option Vs (MPa) Vp (MPa) Vw (MPa) -1.90 0.00 -2.59 +0.13 -2.4 -2.09 -2.05 -2.28 +0.17 4.
