The oxygen requirement in an aeration basin is 1500 lb/hr. The volume of the basin is 3 MG. Temperature is 30 degrees Celsius. The compressor efficiency is 80%. The elevation is 2500 ft and the diffusors are submerged to a depth of 12 ft. Find the power required by the compressor.
Homework Answers
mass flow rate = 1500 lb/hr = 0.000125998 * 1500 kg/s
= 0.1889968 kg/s
total height = 2500 + 12 = 2512 ft = 0.3048 * 2512 = 765.6576 m
Power required by compressor = (mass flow rate * height * g)/ (efficiency of compressor)
= (0.1889968 * 765.6576 * 9.81)/.8
=1774.46 W
= 1.77446 KW Answer

2) A hospital has an oxygen tank with volume of 15 ft?. Oxygen in the tank is initially at 1500 psia and 80 F. The O2 is released slowly so that the temperature of O2 in the tank remains constant. Discharge of O2 continues until a final pressure of 300 psia is reached First, determine the mass of O2 used. Then, use a general form of the energy equation to find the total heat transfer to the tank. Note that...

1. You are designing a pumping station and have been asked to size and select a pump from 2 models. The system step is as follows: the discharge line is a 21-inch diameter PVC pipe with an assumed constant friction factor of f 0.014. The length of the piping is 2300 ft with an elevation gain of 40 ft and an exit loss (K-1.0).. The pump station is located near sea level and the temperature of the flow stream is...

The flocculation process in one treatment train at a surface water treatment plant is to be designed to treat a flow rate of 12 ML/d with a hydraulic detention time of 30 minutes. The flocculation basin should be divided into 4 equally sized stages with successively lower velocity gradients in each stage (that is, tapered flocculation). The velocity gradients in stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 should be 80, 65, 50, and 35 s−1, respectively. The water temperature is 15°C....
