ES 31 Assignment:

1. The proposed air quality standard for ozone is (O3) is 0.8 ppm.
a. Express the standard in g/m3 at 1 atm of pressure and 25o C.
b. At the elevation of Denver, the pressure is about 0.82 atm. Express the
ozone standard at that pressure and at a temperature of 15oC.

2. A river with 400 ppm of salts (a conservative substance) and an upstream

flow of 25.0 m3/s carrying 2,000 mg/L of salts (see Fig.2). The salts quickly
become uniformly distributed in the river. A municipality just downstream
withdraws water and mixed it with enough pure water (no salt) from
another source to deliver water having no more than 500 ppm salts to its
customers. What should the mixture ratio F of pure water to river water?

3. A lake with constant volume 10 x 106 m3/s of a non-conservative waste with

concentration 100 mg/L into the lake. The pollutant has a reaction rate
coefficient K of 0.25/day. Assuming the pollutant is well mixed in the lake,
find the steady-state concentration of pollutant in the lake.
