Question: No . 8 - 2 A shallow river with a mean flow rate of 2 . 0 miles per hour is in equilibrium with atmospheric

No.8-2
A shallow river with a mean flow rate of 2.0 miles per hour is in equilibrium with atmospheric oxygen immediately upstream of a waste outfall creating a BOD0 of 21 mg/L immediately downstream. (a) If KBOD is 0.2/day and KOX is 1.4/day, how far downstream was the maximum DO sag found to occur? (b) If the minimum DO in the river was determined to be 7.3 mg/L, what was the prevailing water temperature?
