Question: A food producing facility has a discharge with a high BOD ( biochemical oxygen demand ) . It must send the discharge through a pipe

A food producing facility has a discharge with a high BOD (biochemical oxygen
demand). It must send the discharge through a pipe to a holding pond for treatment. If the
initial BOD concentration is 1500 mg/L, the linear velocity is 0.05 meters per second,
and the pipe length is 3500 meters, what is the concentration when the discharge enters
the pond? The reaction rate for BOD is 0.3 per day.
