A standard seeded BOD5 test was conducted in a laboratory. It was revealed that the initial DO concentration in a BOD bottle which had been filled with 8 mL of wastewater sample and 292 mL of seeded dilution water was 8.9 mg/L just after preparation. After an incubation period of five days, the final DO concentration was reported as 1.4 mg/L. Meanwhile, DO concentration in the control bottle with seeded dilution water decreased from 9.0 to 8.8 mg/L within five days. a) What is the 5-day BOD of the wastewater sample? b) What would be the 5-day BOD of the wastewater sample if the technician tested the wastewater with the same dilution, this time without seeding, and found out that the DO changed from 8.9 to 1.4 mg/L again? c) Considering both results obtained in (a) and (b), what kind of wastewater do you think the sample belongs to? Discuss your answer. (Hint: Make sure to keep the P and f as ratios (without rounding off) until the end of the calculation.)

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.
