Activated carbon is used to remove a pollutant from wastewater in a mixed batch reactor, which follows first-order reaction kinetics.
At a reaction rate of 0.38 /day, the time (in days) required to remove the pollutant by 95% is _______________ (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
A water treatment plant treats 25 MLD water with a natural alkalinity of 4.0 mg/L (as CaCO3). It is estimated that, during the coagulation of this water, 450 kg/day of calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) is required based on the alum dosage.
Consider the atomic weights as: Ca-40, H-1, C-12, O-16.
The quantity of pure quick lime, CaO (in kg) required for this process per day is _______ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
The number of degrees of freedom for a natural open channel flow with a mobile bed is
A 30 cm diameter well fully penetrates an unconfined aquifer of saturated thickness 20 m with hydraulic conductivity of 10 m/day. Under the steady pumping rate for a long time, the drawdowns in two observation wells located at 10 m and 100 m from the pumping well are 5 m and 1 m, respectively. The corresponding pumping rate (in m³/day) from the well is _____________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
