Problems with non conservative
pollutant
Consider a lake having a volume of 10 million m3, where there is a steady state of inflow and outflow at
106m3? day. The concentration of a chemical x of the lake is 5mgL. Due to an accident in a local
waste-water facility, a raw sewage containing the chemical x at a concentration of 5555mgL with daily
flowrate of 0.1MCD was started to be discharged to the lake and continued. The K of the wastewater is
0.1? day. Consider instantaneous mixing in the lake as soon as the sewer flow started, the outflow
became 1.1 million MCD.
(a) Determine what will be the concentration of x in the lake after 7 days.
(b) What will be the steady state concentration of x.
(C) What will be the concentration of x at point B, when the distance from lake to point B is 2 miles and
water velocity is 0.2msec.
