A wastewater treatment plant has a flow of 35,000 m3 /day. Calculate the mass of sludge wasted each day (QwXw, expressed in kg/day) for an activated-sludge system operated at a solids retention time (SRT) of 5 days. Assume an aeration tank volume of 1,640 m3 and an MLSS concentration of 2,000 mg/L.

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Thermal stresses are developed in a metal when its a) initial temperature is changed b) final temperature is changed c) density is changed d) thermal deformation is prevented e) expansion is prevented f) contraction is prevented
