Question: A lagoon with volume 1 , 1 0 0 m 3 has been receiving a steady flow of a non - conservative waste ( rate

A lagoon with volume 1,100 m3 has been receiving a steady flow of a non-conservative waste (rate constant=0.26/day) at a rate of 80 m3/day for a long enough time to assume that steady-state conditions apply. The waste entering the lagoon has a concentration of 18 mg/L.
A. What would be the concentration of pollutant in the effluent leaving the lagoon?
B. If the input waste concentration suddenly increased to 110 mg/L, what would the concentration in the effluent be 4 days later?
