CEE 330 Homework #6

Problem 1.
A waste has an ultimate CBOD of 1,000 mg/L and a kL of 0.1/day. What is its 5-day
CBOD?

Problem 2.
Calculate the ultimate BOD of a waste that has a measured 5-day BOD of 20 mg/L,
assuming a BOD rate coefficient of 0.15/day.
Problem 3.
7.32. textbook
Calculate the dissolved-oxygen deficit for a river at 30°C and a measured dissolved-oxygen
concentration of 3 mg/L. The Henry’s law constant at that temperature is 1.125 × 10-3 mole/L-atm
and the partial pressure of oxygen is 0.21 atm.
Problem 4.
A waste having an ultimate BOD of 1,000 mg/L is discharged to a river at a rate of 2
m3/s. The river has an ultimate BOD of 10 mg/L and is flowing at a rate of 8 m3/s.
Assuming a reaction-rate coefficient of 0.1/day, calculate the ultimate and 5-day BOD
of the waste at the point of discharge (0 km) and 20 km downstream. The river is
flowing at a velocity of 10 km/day.
Problem 5.
7.35. Textbook
A river traveling at a velocity of 10 km/day has a dissolved-oxygen content of 5 mg/L and an
ultimate CBOD of 25 mg/L at distance x = 0 km, that is, immediately downstream of a waste
discharge. The waste has a CBOD decay coefficient, k1, of 0.2/day. The stream has a reaeration
rate coefficient, k2, of 0.4/day and a saturation dissolved-oxygen concentration of 9 mg/L. (a)
What is the initial dissolved-oxygen deficit? (b) What is the location of the critical point, in time
and distance? (c) What is the dissolved-oxygen deficit at the critical point? (d) What is the
dissolved-oxygen concentration at the critical point?

Problem 4.
A waste having an ultimate BOD of 1,000 mg/L is discharged to a river at a rate of 2
m3/s. The river has an ultimate BOD of 10 mg/L and is flowing at a rate of 8 m3/s.
Assuming a reaction-rate coefficient of 0.1/day, calculate the ultimate and 5-day BOD
of the waste at the point of discharge (0 km) and 20 km downstream. The river is
flowing at a velocity of 10 km/day.

Solution:
