surface is filled with lubricating oil, find the viscosity of oil and express it in
units of poise as well as N-s/m, Assume the plate as frictionless. 12

(a)) A large stream flowing through an industrialised area is the only source of raw
water for the community water supply. The stream water is consistently turbid,
has hardness in excess of 300 mg/L as CaCO and has refractory organics
that are known precursor of trihalomethanes. Draw a schematic diagram of a
treatment plant that could render this water potable. Identify all the units.
State their purpose, show points of chemical addition and identify all the
chemicals. 12

(e) For BOD analysis, 30 mL of treated wastewater sample with DO of zero was
mixed with 270 mL of dilution water with DOof 10 mg/L. The 5th and 6th days
being holidays, the lab was closed. The final DO was measured as 4 mg/L on
the 7th day. It was also found that the incubator was set at 30 °C. Assuming
the BOD reaction rate constant as 023 day at 20 °C and the temperature
coefficient as 1-047, determine the 5-day, 20 °C BOD of the sample. 12

e) A water treatment plant n a city of 100000 population supplies water at
the rate of 150 Ipcd. Two equal capacity circular settling tanks are to be
provided to settle flocculent suspension through Type-II settling. Design
the tanks. Take SOR as 20 m'/m-d and water depth of 3-5 m. Leave
sludge zone of 05 m and keep inlet and outlet zones equal to the side
water depth. Calculate the weir loading. Draw the sketch of the tank
showing all the zones arnd dimensions. 12
ü) In an ideal granular media flter, the entire depth of the filter media should
contribute to the retention and removal of solids, ensuring longer filter
uns, less head loss and greater filtration rates. Why will the single media
flters fail to achieve this? How can the mixed media flter approach an
ideal filter in performance?
