Question 1

The mean indoor airborne Chloroform (CHC13) concentration in a room was determined to be 0.4 µg/m3. Use the following data: T = 293K, P = 1 atmosphere, R = 82.05 × 10–6 atm.m3/mol-K Atomic weights: C = 12, H = 1, CI = 35.5. This concentration expressed in parts per billion (volume basis, ppbv) is equal to

Question 2

A circular primary clarifier processes 5005 cubic meters of municipal wastewater every day. The overflow rate is 35m3/m2d. The diameter of the clarifier shall be _____.

Question 3

Bulking sludge refers to having

Question 4

An analysis for determination of solids in the return sludge of activated sludge process was done as follows: (1) A crucible was dried to a constant mass of 62.458 g. (2) 75 ml of a well–mixed sample was taken in the crucible. (3) The crucible with the sample was dried to a constant mass of 65.020 g in a drying oven at 104 °C. (4) The crucible with the dried sample was placed in a muffle furnace at 600 °C for an hour. After cooling, the mass of the crucible with residues was 63:145 g.
The concentration of organic fraction of solids present in the return sludge sample is

Question 5

An existing 300 mm diameter circular sewer is laid at a slope of 1:280 and carries a peak discharge of 1728 m3/d. Use the partial flow diagram shown in the figure below and assume Manning’s n = 0.015.
 
At the peak discharge, the depth of flow and the velocity are, respectively

Question 6

The results of analysis of a raw water sample are given below
Turbidity : 5 mg/I
pH : 7.4
Fluorides : 2.5 mg/I
Total Hardness : 300 mg/I
Iron : 3.0 mg/I
MPN : 50 per 100 ml
From the data given above, it can be inferred that water needs removal of

Question 7

If the BOD3 of a wastewater sample is 75 mg/L and reaction rate constant k (base e) is 0.345 per day, the amount of BOD remaining in the given sample after 10 days is

Question 8

Consider four common air pollutants found in urban environments, NO, SO2, Soot and O3. Among these which one is the secondary air pollutant?

Question 9

The dispersion of pollutants in atmosphere is maximum when

Question 10
