1. A lake with constant volume 10 x 106 m3
is fed by a pollution-free stream with flow rate 50 m3
/s. A factory
dumps 5 m3
/s of a conservative waste with concentration 100 mg/L into the lake. The pollution has the reaction
rate coefficient K of 0.25/day. Assume the pollution is well mixed in the lake. Find the concentration of pollution
in the lake.
2. A lagoon is to be designed to accommodate an input flow of 0.10 m3
/s of non-conservative pollutant with
concentration 30 mg/L and reaction rate 0.20/day. The effluent from the lagoon must have pollutant
concentration of 5 mg/L. Assuming complete mixing, how large must the lagoon be?
