Sand filters in a rapid sand filtration plant must be designed to achieve a maximum hydraulic loading rate of 5 gal min-1 ft-2 . For a water production rate of 500,000 gallons per day, determine the dimensions of filtration facilities. There should be a minimum of four filters in parallel for reliability. Use a square tank configuration with a filter media (sand) depth of 24 inches. Allow a head space of 5 feet above the sand media

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly e end nation about same energy states, 1 and 2, where pi 10 bar, v undergoes two processes, a and b, between the sam 0.1 m3, ui-400 kj and p2 1 bar, v2 1.0 m2, u2 200 kj: process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure- volume relation is pv constant process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to +20 0 state 2 kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, (a) sketch the process on p-v coordinates, (b) evaluate the work, in kj, and (c) evaluate process the heat transfer, in kj
