Problem 6. A lagoon is to be designed to accommodate an inflow waste stream at 0.1m3s containing two nonconservative pollutants (pollutant A=45mgL, pollutant B=20mgL). The pollutants degrade following first order kinetics with reaction rate constants as follows: A=0.35 day ?-1 and B=0.2 day ?-1. The effluent from the lagoon must meet the following design constraints: concentration of less than 10mgL for pollutant A and less than 15mgL for pollutant B. Assuming complete mixing, and that there is an outlet for 0.1m3s, how large must the lagoon be?(Assume steady state).(20 pts, show calculations for both pollutants for full credit) Last question was wrong, please help.
