A process equipment emits, 5 kg/h of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). If a hood placed over the process equipment captures 95% of the VOCs, then the fugitive emission in kg/h is

A water treatment plant has a sedimentation basin of depth 3 m, width 5 m, and length 40 m. The water inflow rate is 500 m³/h. The removal fraction of particles having a settling velocity of 1.0 m/h is ________. (round off to one decimal place) (Consider the particle density as 2650 kg/m³ and liquid density as 991 kg/m³)

A flocculator tank has a volume of 2800 m3. The temperature of water in the tank is 15°C, and the average velocity gradient maintained in the tank is 100/s. The temperature of water is reduced to 5°C, but all other operating conditions including the power input are maintained as the same. The decrease in the average velocity gradient (in %) due to the reduction in water temperature is ________ (round off to nearest integer).

[Consider dynamic viscosity of water at 15°C and 5°C as 1.139 × 10-3 N - s/m2 and 1.518 × 10-3 N - s/m2 , respectively]
