    _____________________________________________________________________________

    Question No.1: (8 Marks)


    a) A 3% of solution of a sewage sample is kept at inclination temperature at 20°C. If initial
    DO and final DO values after 5 days incubation period are 9 mg/l and 5mg/l respectively,
    find BOD.
    b) A certain waste has a BOD of 162 mg/l and its flow is 1000 m3/day. If the domestic
    sewage has BOD 80 gm/capita, find the population equivalent.

    Question No.2: (8 Marks)


    a) Find number of openings and number of bars of a screen device to handle 25 MLD of
    waste with approach velocity 1 m/s. Assume depth of flow = 0.9m. Size of each opening
    25 mm, dia of bar = 10 mm, also find head loss to screen if screen is kept at an angle 60°
    with horizontal
    b) In a test conducted for determining the relative conductivity at 20° C, the period of
    incubation is found to be 12 days. Calculate the percentage of relative stability.
    Question No.3: (8 Marks)
    a) Find the amount of co2 in kg while completely oxidizing 1 kg of methane. Also find the
    oxygen demand of methane.
    b) If the F/M of a 0.4380 m3/s activated sludge plant is 0.200 mg/mg. d, the influent BOD5
    after primary settling is 150 mg/L and the MLVSS is 2,200 mg/L, what is the volume of
    the aeration tank?

    Question No.4: (8 Marks)


    a) Calculate the discharge of 1.25 m circular sewer laid at a slope of 1 in 360, when it is
    running half full. Assume n in Manning’s formula as 0.011
    b) Find the minimum velocity and gradient required to transport sewage with sand particles
    of 1mm diameter and specific gravity of 2.65 through a sewer of 1 m diameter. Assume k
    = 0.1, f = 0.03. The sewer may be assumed to run half full. Take Manning’s n = 0.011.

    Question No.5: (9 Marks)


    A town with an area of 10 km2, with population density of 1000 no/ha, supplied water at
    a rate of 200 lpcd out of which 80 % reach sewer as a sewage. The town receives an
    average rainfall of intensity 2.2 cm in 12 hrs all of which are runoff. Find Dry Weather
    Flow (DWF), Wet Weather Flow (WWF) resulting from the community.

    Question No.6: (9 Marks)


    Two activated sludge aeration tanks at Kabul Airport are operated in series. Each tank
    has the following dimensions: 7.0 m wide by 30.0 m long by 4.3 m effective liquid depth.
    The plant operating parameters are as follows:

    Flow = 0.0796 m3/s


    Soluble BOD5 after primary 130 mg/L
    settling =
    MLVSS = 1,500 mg/L
    MLSS = 1.40 (MLVSS)

    Settled sludge volume after 230.0 mL/L


    30 min =
    Aeration tank liquid 15oC
    temperature =
    Determine the following: aeration period, F/M ratio, SVI, solids concentration in the return
    sludge.

    Best of luck
