A lagoon with volume 1,200m3 has been receiving a steady flow of a conservative waste
at a rate of 100m3? day for a long enough time to assume that steady-state conditions
apply. The waste entering the lagoon has a concentration of 10mgL. Assuming com-
pletely mixed conditions,
(a) What would be the concentration of pollutant in the effluent leaving the lagoon?
(b) If the input waste concentration suddenly increased to 100mgL, what would the
concentration in the effluent be 7 days later?
(c) Repeat the above problem but for a nonconservative pollutant with
reaction rate k=0.20? day
A lagoon with volume 1 , 2 0 0 m 3 has been
