a) Calculate the total single collector collision efficiency for the mechanisms identified in the diagram below. The particle has a diameter of 3.5m and a density of 5.3gcm3, in a deep bed filter with a grain size of 0.04mm. The influent flow has a velocity of 0.003ms. Assume the temperature is 25C and that the density and viscosity of water are 0.997gcm3 and 8.910-3gcm-s, respectively.
b) What is the dominant mechanism?
c) What is the ratio of the settling velocity to the approach fluid velocity?

Taste and odor compounds are large molecular weight molecules that can be removed from water by filtration and then biologically degraded within the filter. This process can be modeled as:
dCdZ=-C
where C is the mass concentration of taste and odor compounds, z is the distance into the filter bed, and lambda is the filter coefficient with a constant value of 20m-1 at a constant approach velocity, U, of 200md. The accumulation of taste and order mass on the filter, (grams per cubic meter of bed), is limited by first order decay with a rate constant k1=0.1dd-1.
(a) Show that the differential equation for the mass accumulation is given by
ddt=-UdCdz-k1
(b) Under steady state conditions, what is the expression for the profile of accumulated taste and ordor mass within the filter (z)? Assume the influent concentration is Cin.
(c) How deep of a filter is required for 95 percent removal of taste and odor compounds?
