A waste water effluent of 560 l/s with a BOD = 50 mg/l, DO = 3.0 mg/l and temperature of 23°C enters a river where the flow is 28 m³/sec, and BOD = 4.0 mg/l, DO = 8.2 mg/l, and temperature of 17°C. k, of the waste is 0.10 per day at 20°C. The velocity of water in the river downstream is 0.18 m/s and depth of 1.2 m. Determine the following after mixing of waste water with the river water. (i) Combined discharge (iii) DO and (ii) BOD (iv) Temperature

Question
A waste water effluent of 560 l/s with a BOD 50 mg/l, DO = 3.0 mg/l and
temperature of 23°C enters a river where the flow is 28 m³/sec, and BOD= 4.0 mg/l, DO = 8.2 mg/l, and
temperature of 17°C. k, of the waste is 0.10 per day at 20°C. The velocity of water in the river downstream
is 0.18 m/s and depth of 1.2 m. Determine the following after mixing of waste water with the river water.
(i) Combined discharge
(iii) DO and
(ii) BOD
(iv) Temperature
