NPTEL Water and waste water treatment Week 2 Assignment Answers 2025

1. Choose the correct options for rate of loss for W(rl,W) and rate of formation for Y(rf,Y) from the below shown reaction
W + 2X –> Y + Z here, k=rate constant

  • rl,W = k[W][X] and rf,Y = k[W][X]^2
  • rl,W = k[W][X]^2 and rf,Y = k[Y][Z]
  • rl,W = k[W][X]^2 and rf,Y = k[W][X]^2
  • rl,W = k[W][X] and rf,Y = k[Y][Z]^2

Answer :- 

3. Choose the correct mass balance equations at steady state in the CSTR which is shown below and assume that no compounds are formed in the reactor. Here Qin = Qout = Q and Θ = Hydraulic retention time.

  • Cout/Cin=1/(1-kΘ)
  • Cout/Cin=1/[1+(Vk/Q)]
  • Cout/Cin=1/[1-(Vk/Q)]
  • Cout/Cin=1/(1+kΘ)
Answer :- 

4. A first-order dissociation reaction takes place in a batch reactor. The initial concentration of the reactant is C0= 18 mg/L, and the rate constant is 0.2/min. What is the concentration of the reactant after 10 minutes in mg/L______________

5. Calculate the Cout for steady state CSTR shown below________ (mg/L)

Answer :- 

6. A liquid-phase first-order reaction occurs in a plug flow reactor. The inlet concentration of the reactant is 32 mg/L, and the outlet concentration is 5 mg/L. The rate constant for the reaction is k = 0.4/min, and the volumetric flow rate is 0.5 L/min. What is the required volume of the plug flow reactor in 10^4 m3_________

Answer :- 

7. Wastewater from the treatment plant is being discharged into the river, as illustrated below. Then what is the BOD at x-x cross section of the river__________ mg/L. (Assuming both streams properly mixed in at x-x section)

Answer :- 

8. Choose the correct options regarding non-ideal systems

  • If number of reactors greater than one acts as real reactor
  • If number of reactor equal to 1 act as CSTR
  • If number of reactors are infinite act as plug flow reactor
  • CSTR is always reflects ideal reactor
