The rate (in mg carbon/m3/h) at which photosynthesis takes place for a species of phytoplankton is modeled by the function

P =

120I
I2 + I + 1

where I is the light intensity (measured in thousands of foot-candles). For what light intensity is P a maximum?
I =  thousand foot-candles

2. (a) The chemical equation for growing phytoplankton with light energy from the sun (photosynthesis) is given below: 106 CO2 + 16 NO3- + H2PO4- + 122H2O + 17H+ -> C106H263O110N16P + 138 O2 carbon nitrate phosphate water protons phytoplankton oxygen dioxide How much nitrate (kg) is required to grow 1 kg of phytoplankton? (b) Respiration is the opposite process to photosynthesis in which bacteria break down organic materials (e.g. phytoplankton) using oxygen to release energy: C106H263O110N16P + 138 O2...

Water with a chloroform concentration of 0.8 mg/L is fed at a rate of 180 m3 /h to a GAC contactor that has an area of 3.75 m by 6 m and is 2 m deep. The objective of the GAC contactor is to reduce the chloroform concentration to below 0.005 mg/L. The Freundlich parameters for chloroform are K = 15 and 1/n = 0.47 when the concentrations are measured in mg/L in the aqueous phase and mg/g on the...

In this exercise, you will analyze the supply-demand equilibrium of a city under some special simplifying assumptions about land use. The assumptions are: (i) all dwellings must contain exactly 1,500 square feet of floor space, regardless of location, and (ii) apartment complexes must contain exactly 15,000 square feet of floor space per square block of land area. These land-use restrictions, which are imposed by a zoning authority, mean that dwelling sizes and building heights do not vary with distance to...
