Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant given Volume of Aeration Tank Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant given Volume of Aeration Tank?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Ke=(YQs(Qi-Qo)θcVX)-1θc
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Ke=(0.510m³/s(0.48mg/L-0.4mg/L)5d91200mg/L)-15d
Next Step Convert Units
Ke=(0.510m³/s(0.0005kg/m³-0.0004kg/m³)432000s91.2kg/m³)-1432000s
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Ke=(0.510(0.0005-0.0004)43200091.2)-1432000
Next Step Evaluate
Ke=3.47222222222222E-05s⁻¹
LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit
Ke=3d⁻¹
