The ultimate BOD of a river at the confluence of the river and a sewage outfall is 50 mg/L and the DO is at the saturation value of 9.0 mg/L after mixing. The deoxygenation (or decay) rate coefficient (Kd) is 0.3 d-1 and the reaeration rate coefficient (Kr) is 0.9 d-1. The river is flowing at a velocity of 48 miles/day and the only source of BOD is from the sewage discharge. Required:
a. Find the critical distance downstream (in miles) at which DO is a minimum.
b. Find the minimum DO (in mg/L)
c. If a wastewater treatment plant is to be built, what fraction of the BOD would have to be removed from the sewage to assure a minimum of 5.0 mg/L everywhere downstream?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
