Question:
A circular settling tank is to be designed for primary treatment of sewage at a flow rate of 10 million liters/day. Assume a detention period of 2.0 hours and surface loading rate of 40000 liters/m2/day. The height (in meters) of the water column in the tank is __________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

- A 2m × 2m tank of 3 m height has inflow, outflow and stirring mechanisms. Initially, the tank was half-filled with fresh water. At t = 0, an inflow of a salt solution of concentration 5 g/m3 at the rate of 2 litre/s and an outflow of the well stirred mixture at the rate of 1 litre/s are initiated. This process can be modelled using the following differential equation:
\(\frac {dm}{dt}+\frac {m}{6000+t}=0.01\)
where m is the mass (grams) of the salt at time t (seconds). The mass of the salt (in grams) in the tank at 75% of its capacity is _____ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).- GATE CE - 2024
