Wastewater is being treated in two well-mixed ponds in series. The flow rate of the wastewater is 4000 m3/d, and the ponds each have volumes of 20,000 m3 and 12,000 m3, respectively. The influent to the first pond has an ultimate BOD (i. e., L0) of 200 mg/L, and the system has been operating long enough to reach steady-state. If kd is 0.35 d-1 in each pond, how much BOD remains in the effluent as the water exits the second pond?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
