Q2/A storage tank of a treatment water has a holding capacity of 750 m' up to an overflow point. The treatment water having silica content of 0.003 mg /L is flowing in to a tank at a rate of 30 L/sec. the out flow from the tank to the high pressure boilers is 30 L/sec. With time the quality of treatment water increased to 0.025 mg/L. Assuming that the inflow in to and out flow from the tank remains constant at 30 L/sec, calculate the time required for the silica content in the storage tank to increase to 0.01 mg/L.

Transcribed Image Text:Q2/A storage tank of a treatment water has a holding capacity
of 750 m' up to an overflow point. The treatment water having
silica content of 0.003 mg /L is flowing in to a tank at a rate of
30 L/sec. the out flow from the tank to the high pressure
boilers is 30 L/sec. With time the quality of treatment water
increased to 0.025 mg/L. Assuming that the inflow in to and out
flow from the tank remains constant at 30 L/sec, calculate the
time required for the silica content in the storage tank to
increase to 0.01 mg/L.
