Concentration of Sludge in Return Line given Wasting Rate from Return Line Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Concentration of Sludge in Return Line given Wasting Rate from Return Line?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Xr=(VXθcQw')-(QeXeQw')
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Xr=(10001200mg/L7d400m³/d)-(1523.81m³/d60mg/L400m³/d)
Next Step Convert Units
Xr=(10001.2kg/m³604800s0.0046m³/s)-(0.0176m³/s0.06kg/m³0.0046m³/s)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Xr=(10001.26048000.0046)-(0.01760.060.0046)
Next Step Evaluate
Xr=0.199999928571429kg/m³
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
Xr=199.999928571429mg/L
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Xr=199.9999mg/L
