Question: 6 . ( ( 6 0 mathrm { pt } ) ) Given the settling data in the following table from tests

6.\((60\mathrm{pt})\) Given the settling data in the following table from tests with mixed liquor from an activated sludge plant, determine (1) the gravity solids flux, (2) underflow solids flux and the total solids flux, (3) the limiting solids flux and (4) the maximum underflow solids concentration, (5) the maximum MLSS concentration that can be maintained in the aeration tank (hint: use biomass mass balance), and (6) the MLSS concentration with one clarifier using an underflow solids concentration of \(12\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{L}\). The secondary clarifier surface overflow rate, \(\mathrm{Q}/\mathrm{A}\) has been fixed \(1.0\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{h}\) and the return rate \(\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{R}}\) is equal to 75 percent of Q . Assume that influent MLSS concentration, the solids wasting rate \(\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{w}}\), and the cell growth rate within the reactor are negligible in this problem.
