Prepare clean and clear solutions to the following problems. Highlight the final answer.
The BOD of a water sample is estimated to be 180mgL. What volume of undiluted sample should be used in a standard BOD-5
test? Assume that the initial DO is 10mgL.
A town discharges 18,000m3d of treated wastewater into a stream. The treated wastewater has a BOD-5 of 12mgL and a
deoxygenation constant of 0.12d at 20C. The stream has a flow rate of 0.4m3s and an ultimate BOD of 5mgL. The DO of the
stream is 6.5mgL and that of the wastewater is 1.0mgL. Determine the DO and ultimate BOD after mixing.
Refer to the previous problem. Determine the DO concentration 5km downstream from the city discharge. Use a stream
temperature and a wastewater temperature of 10C. The reoxygenation constant is 0.06d. The stream velocity is 0.85ms.
