morphometric and hydrologic data for a lake in a metropolitan city is given as suspended solid concentration m=0.65 gm/m3 , suspended solid load, ws = 7.5x 1012 g/yr, PCB load Wc= 6.5x1012 ug/yr . toxicants have the following characteristics partition co-efficient , Kd =0.025m3/g the volatilization mass transfer co-efficient , Vv= 185m/yr. determine (a) the settling velocity of the solids (b) the flow concentration of the contaminant (c) the transfer coefficient and steady state concentration . Neglect the sediment feedback . The lake parameters are as follows volume V= 3700 x 109m3 surface area A= 60,400 x106 m2 Depth H= 70 m, Outflow Q= 175 x10 9 m3yr
