301.



In the plot of residual chlorine versus chlorine dose applied shown in Fig,

the curve will not have any (0, 0) point because chlorine is consumed for disinfection

 

302.If the methyl orange alkalinity of water equals or exceeds total hardness, all of the hardness is carbonate hardness


 

303.Some amount of chlorides is allowed in drinking water because

1. it helps in killing bacteria.

2. it is not injurious to human health.

3. it is not economical to remove it completely

 

304.A commonly used handpump is the reciprocating pump

 

305.

A.Multistage centrifugal pump of moderate sized impellers-High head and moderate discharge B. Archimedean screw type pump-Low head and low discharge C. Simple reciprocating pump-High head and low discharge D. Axial flow propeller pump-Low head and large discharge

 

306.Service connection consists of ferrule, stopcock and gooseneck

 

307.water treatment plant for rural water apply is Coagulation, sedimentation, slow sand filter, chlorination

 

308.

A.Automobile(per vehicle)-40 B. Leather (per 100 kg)-4 C. Paper (per tonne)-200-400 D. Crude petroleum refinery (per tonne)-1 to 2


 

309. Consider the following statements : Ventilation of sewer lines is necessary to

1. avoid building up of sewer gases.

2. ensure atmospheric pressure in the waste water surface.

3. ensure the safety of sewer maintenance people

 

310.For a colony of 10,000 persons having sewage flow rate of 200 litres /capita/day,

BOD of applied sewage of 300 mg/litre and organic loading of 300

kg/day/hectare, the area of an oxidation pond required for treating the sewage of

the colony is 2 hectares

 

311.



The second stage BOD as shown in Fig is due to nitrification demand


 

312.The purpose of a proportional weir at the effluent end of a channel type grit removal unit is to maintain constant mean velocity in the channel

 

313. The trap used for a water closet is called p-trap

 

314. A circular sewer of diameter 1 m carries storm water to a depth of 0.75 m. The

hydraulic radius is approximately 0.3 m

 

315. Consider the following statements about waste stabilization ponds

1. The pond has a symbiotic behiaviour of waste stabilization through algae on one hand and bacteria on the other.

2. The oxygen in ponds is provided by algae through photosynthesis.

 

316 Carbon monoxide-Chemical reaction with haemoglobin in blood Particulate matter-Reduction in visibility and aeroallergens carrier Nitrogen oxides-Photochemical smog in atmosphere Sulfur dioxide-Respiratory distress for living beings


 

317.

A.Incineration-High open tional & maintenance cost B. Sanitary landfill-Tractor C.Coposting- Requires presorting,grinding and turning D.Salvage by sorting-Limited to special wastes and selected materials

 

318.The sound pressure level for a jet plane on the ground with sound pressure of 2000 µ bar should be 140 decibel

 

319.The controlling design parameter in the design of all settling tanks is

overflow rate

 

320. The F/M ratio is controlled in the activated sludge process by adjusting the

amount of sludge wasting
