In a rapid sand filter, the time for reaching particle break through (T,) is defined as the time elapsed from start of filter run to the time at which the turbidity of the effluent from the filter is greater than 2.5 NTU. The time for reaching terminal head loss (T,) is defined as the time elapsed from the start of the filter run to the time when head loss across the filter is greater than 3 m. The effect of increasing the filter depth (while keeping all other conditions same) on T, and T is H. (A) T, increases and T, decreases. (B) Both T, and T, increase. (C) T decreases and T, increases. (D) Both T and T, decrease.

Question 8A 200 g/l solution of common salt was discharged into a stream at a constant rate of 25l/s. The background concentration of the salt in the stream water was found to be 10 ppm. At a downstream section where the solution was believed to have been completely mixed, the salt concentration was found to reach an equilibrium value of 45 ppm. Estimate the discharge in the stream.

A raw sewage sample was brought in for total suspended solids and volatile solids analysis. A portion of the sample was poured into a tared evaporating dish and weighed. The sample was then heated at 105°C for 4 hours, weighed, heated at 550°C overnight, and weighed again. The data are as follows: • Tare wt. 42.9073g• Wt of sample 104.4680g• 105 °C wt. 45.4140g• 550 °C wt. 43.3236g What is the TSS in g/L? What percent of the solids are volatile?
