Question: An industrial process discharges its effluent into a stream. It is desired to determine the effects of the waste discharge on the dissolved oxygen concentration

An industrial process discharges its effluent into a stream. It is desired to determine the effects of the waste discharge on the dissolved oxygen concentration of the stream. k1 at 20C is 0.23d-1, and k2 at 20C is 0.43d-1. The characteristics of the stream and industrial wastewater are given below.
\table[[Characteristics,Stream,Industrial wastewater],[Flow rate, m3s,6.5,0.5],[Temperature,C,19.2,25.0],[Dissolved oxygen, mgL,8.2,0.5],[BOD5 at 20C,3.0,200.0]]
a. Calculate the critical values and the distance from the point of discharge at which the critical values will occur. The stream velocity is 0.2ms.
b. Calculate the values and draw the dissolved oxygen sag curve for a 100km reach of the stream from the point of discharge.
