PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY AI
A well-mixed lagoon is connected to the sea by a channel as shown in Figure.
The Lagoon and Channel have the following characteristics;
At \(\mathrm{t}=0,100\mathrm{~kg}\) of a conservative dye is instantaneously released and distributed across the Lagoon. The exchanged discharge rate is \(10000\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\) day through the channel. The following measurements of the dye concentration in the Lagoon are made over the time.
a) What is the mass transfer coefficient(\(\mathrm{m}/\) day) and diffusion coefficient (E)(\(\mathrm{m}^{2}/\) day) for exchange between the Lagoon and the Sea?
b) What mass loading of a nonconservative (reactive) pollutant with \(\mathrm{k}=0.01\) day \({}^{-1}\) could be input to this system under steady-state conditions if the allowable concentration in the system were \(1\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\). Express your result in \(\mathrm{g}/\) day. Note that both the conservative dye and reactive pollutant have negligible concentration in the sea, and neglect the residence time in the channel.
