An effluent at a flow rate of 2760 m3/day from a sewage treatment plant is to be disinfected when a chlorine dose of 15 mg/ℓ is used following the disinfection model of Nt = N0 e-0.15 t
where, Nt = No. of microorganisms surviving at any time ‘t’ (in min)
N0 initial No. of microorganisms present.
If the volume of the tank is 50 m3, the % removal of microorganisms in the tank

A rapid sand filter with area of filter 200 m2 is used to process the water for a town with a population of 10 million. The rate of filtration of the filter is 25 m3/m2/hour. The porosity of the bed and specific gravity of the material used in the bed are 0.42 and 2.72 respectively. If the bed is expanded to 0.75 m from its original undisturbed depth of 0.675 m, then the head loss in (mm) due to expanded bed will be ________.
