Problem 1. A wastewater sample is examined for its solid contents. The ionic strength (μ) of wastewater is 0.01. It is known that 30% of total dissolved solids (TDS) is organic. The volumetric settleable solid concentration is determined as 20 mL/L using Imhoff Cone. It is assumed that 40% of total suspended solids (TSS) is equal to dry-settleable solids. The volumetric settleable solids composes of 2% of dried solids and 98% of water. The density of volumetric settleable solid concentration is given as 1020 g/L. Use information given in problem, calculate: a) Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentration as mg/L. b) Total Suspended Solids (TSS) concentration as mg/L. c) Total Solids (TS) concentration as mg/L.

Waste activated sludge can be described as a Newtonian fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 20 x 10 ft/sec. At the same temperature, the kinematic viscosity v of water is 10 ft/sec. The relative roughness of the piping system is 0.001. The pressure drop for flow of water at a Reynolds number of 10' in this piping system was determined to be 1.0 psi. If waste activated sludge flows at the same velocity through the piping" system, the pressure drop (psi) is most nearly:
