A steady-state, steady-flow (Steady State Steady Flow) control volume (with single inflow and outflow) undergoes a reversible polytropic process from state 1 to state 2. The process involves water and the following data are given: Inflow pressure: P1 = 100kPa Inflow specific volume: v1 = 1.39478862 m3/kg Outlfow temperature: T2 = 150 oC Outflow specific volume: v2 = 1.93636 m3/kg Determine the following: (Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy) 1. h1 (specific enthalpy at the inflow, in kJ/kg) 2....

A clean lake with a constant volume of 107 m3 is fed by a pollution-free stream with flow rate of 50 m3/s. A factory dumps 5.0 m3/s of waste with a pollutant concentration of 100 mg/L into the lake. The pollutant has a first-order reaction rate coefficient (decay) of 0.25 d-1. Assuming the pollutant is well-mixed in the lake. How long does it take the lake to reach the steady-state concentration? You may assume that if concentration is approximately 99%...

A lake of area 10 5 m2 and depth 10 m receives an input of 400 mol/d of chemical in an effluent discharge. Chemical is also present in the inflow water of 104 m3/d at a concentration of 0.01 mol/m3. The chemical reacts with a first order rate constant of 10-3 h -1. The outflow is 8000 m3/d, there being some loss of water by evaporation (assume none of the chemical volatilizes). Assuming that the lake water is well mixed,...

Industrial waste is being dumped into Lake A, causing pollution of the water. The pollution concentration of Lake A is maintained at a constant level of c kg/km3 . Lake B has volume V km3 and its rate of inflow (from Lake A) and rate of outflow (to River C) are both equal to r km3 per year. Suppose that at time t = 0 (in years) the pollutant concentration of Lake B (caused by past industrial pollution that has...

The rainfall in a given area totaled 1m/yr and had a pH of 4.27. The lake had an alkalinity of 175 mg CaCO3/L and an average depth of 12m. Assuming that the acidity of the rain was only due to strong acids, what percent of the alkalinity in the lake was neutralized by the rain? Neglect water inflow and outflow.
