A rectangular, well-mixed aeration lagoon is 60 m long, 5 m wide, and 2 m deep. It receives 400 m3/d of wastewater with a BOD5 of 300 mg BOD5/L for treatment. The biodegradation rate constants for the wastewater are: yield coefficient = 0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD5, endogenous decay constant = 0.08 d-1, maximum specific microbial growth rate = 1 d-1, and half velocity constant = 76.0 mg BOD5/L. What must the hydraulic detention time be in the aeration pond? (days)
What is the efficiency of the lagoon? (%)
The pond’s efficiency depends on oxygen being always available for the microbes to use in degrading the wastewater organic carbon. How much oxygen must be supplied daily to the pond? (in kg)
What mass of microbes will be produced in the pond each day? (in kg)
Suppose the operators decide to perform a recycle of the lagoon’s effluent to boost the efficiency. They decide to pump sludge from where it accumulates at the bottom of the pond to mix with the influent such that the incoming flow contains the same concentration of bacteria as the pond itself (X0 = X). What will the new treatment efficiency be? (%)
Mainly need part a, d, e

Air undergoes a constant pressure cooling process with no moisture added or removed. the air originally exists at 45 °c, 150 kpa and 35 % relative humidity. it is cooled until the temperature reaches 29 oc. determine (a) the relative humidity of the cooled air. (b) the dew point temperature of the cooled air in °c. (c) the heat removed during the cooling process in kj/kg. use the psychrometric chart to check your answers (this part will not be graded; however, it will you get comfortable using the psychrometric chart)
