Question: ( 3 0 points ) Mass Balance: A completely mixed sewage lagoon receives 1 5 , 0 0 0 m 3 d of sewage containing
points Mass Balance: A completely mixed sewage lagoon receives of sewage containing of biodegradable organic matter. The lagoon has a surface area of hectare ha and a depth of m The organic matter OM in the sewage degrades biologically decays according to firstorder kinetics with a reaction coefficient of Assume no additional inputs and outputs evaporation rainfall, etc. steadystate conditions, and that the volume of the lagoon remains constant. Find the following:
a The OM concentration in the effluent outflow from the lagoon in Do a mass balance to solve this part
b The OM concentration in the lagoon in after mixing and degradation
c The retention time of the lagoon in days
d If you were to model the same reactor as a PFR what would the OM concentration in the effluent be using same kinetics and steadystate conditions? Compare this result to the value found in a and comment.
