    This document contains 8 questions related to water quality and wastewater treatment. It involves calculations for BOD concentration in a two-pond system, concentration of BOD after a wastewater discharge mixes with upstream flow, determining BOD5 and ultimate BOD from a bottle test, calculating a mixture ratio for a river receiving an agricultural discharge, identifying reaction kinetics for a pollutant, defining steady state in a material balance problem, calculating tracer concentration needed to measure mixing of streams, and determining BOD8 value given BOD6 and temperature-dependent decay rate.

    Assignment 2

    1. The two-pond system shown in the following figure is fed by a stream with a flow
    rate of 1.0 MGD and a BOD (non-conservative pollutant) concentration of 20 mg/L.
    The rate of decay is 0.30/day. The volume of the first pond is 5.0 million gallons and
    the second is 3.0 million gallons. Solve for C1 and C2 in mg/L.

    2. Poorly treated municipal wastewater is discharged to a stream. The river flow rate
    upstream of the discharge point is Qu/s = 8.7 m3/s. The discharge occurs at a flow of
    Qd = 0.9 m3/s and has a BOD concentration of 50.0 mg/L. Assuming that the
    upstream BOD concentration is negligible; what is the BOD concentration just after
    the discharge point? Assume complete mixing.

    3. 6 ml of wastewater is diluted to 300 ml distilled water in standard BOD bottle. Initial


    DO in the bottle is determined to be 8.5 mg/l. DO after 5 days at 20 C is found to be 5
    mg/l. Determine BOD5 of wastewater and compute the ultimate BOD.

    4. A river with 400 ppm of salts (a conservative substance) and an up stream flow of 25
    m3/s receives an agricultural discharge of 5.0 m3/s carrying 2000 mg/L of salts (see
    figure below, P1.7). The salts quickly become uniformly distributed in the river. A
    municipality just downstream withdraws water and mixes it with enough pure water
    (no salt) from another source to deliver water having no more than 500 ppm salts to
    its customers. What should the mixture ratio (F) of pure water to the river water be?
    5. A pollutant which degrades according to the equation dC/dt = -kC is said to react
    according to ______________________ kinetics.

    6. In a material balance problem, the situation where the rate of accumulation is zero is
    referred to as _____________________________.

    7. The Rappahannock River near Warrenton, VA, has a flow rate of 3.00 m3s-1. Tin Pot
    Run (a pristine stream) discharges into the Rappahannock at a flow rate of 0.05 m3s-
    1. To study mixing of the stream and river, a conservative tracer is added to Tin Pot
    Run. If the instruments that measure the tracer can detect a concentration of 1.00
    mgL-1, what minimum concentration must be achieved in Tin Pot Run so that 1.00
    mgL-1 of the tracer can be measured after the river and stream mix?

    Assume that the 1.00 mgL-1 of tracer is to be measured after complete mixing of the
    stream and Rappahannock has been achieved and that no tracer is in Tin Pot Run or
    the Rappahannock above the point where the two streams mix. What mass rate (in
    kilogram per day) of tracer must be added to Tin Pot Run?

    8. The BOD6 of a wastewater is determined to be 400 mg/L at 20o C. The k value at 20 o


    C is known to be 0.23 per day. What would be BOD8 value if tests were run at 15 o C?
