Question: 2 . Assuming that the mixed oxygen deficit ( Da ) is zero and that the ultimate BOD ( Lr ) of a river above

2. Assuming that the mixed oxygen deficit (Da) is zero and that the ultimate BOD (Lr) of a river above the wastewater outfall is zero, calculate the amount of ultimate BOD (in kg/day) that can be discharged if the DO must be kept at 4.00 mg/L at a point 8.05 km downstream. The stream deoxygenation rate (kd) is 1.80 days-1 at 12C, and the reaeration rate (kr) is 2.20 days-1 at 12C. The river temperature is 12C and saturation value of DO at 12C is 10.83 mg/L. The river flow is 5.95 m3/s with a speed of 0.300 m/s. The wastewater flow is 0.0130 m3/s.
