[30 points] Consider an outfall that is discharging raw sewage at a 4m3s. The
sewage is going into a river which is 20 m wide, 15 m deep and flowing at a rate of
an ultimate BOD of 5mgL. The water in both the river and the outfall can hold 10
mgL of O2 at saturation, but the actual O2 just downstream of the outfall is 9mgL.
The deoxygenation constant (kd) is determined to be 0.25 day , and the reaeration
constant (kr) is 0.60day-1*kr
Sketch a plot of the dissolved O2 concentration using distance from the outfall as the
x -axis. Be as quantitative as possible. Calculate and indicate on your graph the
following values:
D0
[O2]s
Distance to the critical point downstream
O2 at the critical point
