4 An air stream is flowing at the rate of 1200 m3/h at a 04
temperature of 60oC. It contains particles with a density
of 1100 kg/m3. If the number of effective turns is 06 at
the inlet velocity of 12 m/s, determine the diameter of
the particles that will be removed with 80% efficiency
using this cyclone.

5 A municipal wastewater treatment plant processes an 04


average flow of 6000 m3/d with peak flow as high as
12000 m3/d. Determine the dimensions and detention
time of the primary clarifier at 35% removal efficiency
for BOD. What would be removal efficiency for BOD at
peak flow?

6 A 1000 MW power plant with a load factor of 70% and 06


an efficiency of 40% uses coal as a fuel source. The coal
has 1% sulphur content and a calorific value of 35
MJ/kg. The Stack height is 150 m and diameter is 6 m.
Determine the sulphur di-oxide concentration during
cloudy winter night at 10 km downwind and 500
crosswind of the plant. Given the wind velocity at
ground level is 3.0 m/s, flue gas velocity is 18 m/s,
temperature of flue gas is 160oC and the ambient
temperature is 25oC.

7 A municipal wastewater having a BOD of 225 mg/L is to 06


be treated by a two-stage trickling filter. The treated
wastewater should have a BOD of 20 mg/L. The flow
rate of wastewater is 8000 m3/d with a temperature of
25oC. The BOD removal efficiency of the primary
clarifier is 35%. The efficiency of first stage filter is 80%
to that of second stage filter. The depth of both the filters
is to be 2.0 m and recirculation ration is 2:1. Determine
the dimensions of both the filters to achieve the
efficiency.

8 An industrial wastewater treatment plant discharges 08
secondary effluent into a stream flow having following
characteristics, for Wastewater, maximum flow rate =
9000 m3/d, BOD5 = 50 mg/L, DO content = 2 mg/L, and
Temperature = 30oC and for Stream, minimum flow rate
= 0.6 m3/s, BOD5 = 4 mg/L, DO content = 7.0 mg/L, and
Temperature = 20oC. Complete mixing of the wastewater
and the stream is almost instantaneous and the velocity
of the mixture = 0.2 m/s, equilibrium concentration of
oxygen in fresh water = 8.7 mg/L at mixing temperature,
de-oxygenation constant = 0.23/d at 20oC, and re-
aeration constant = 0.4/d at 20oC. Determine the
dissolved oxygen concentration at 25 km and 50 km
downstream.
