ENVE 101 : Introduction to Environmental Engineering Assignment I

Deadline for submission: September 3, 2022 (All groups)

1. Write the full form of the following.: IEE, EIA, COD, IRR, SOPHEN, MLD
2. List out any 5 engineering projects of Nepal (undergoing or recently completed).Also
mention the project scale/size. If possible provide estimated project cost also.
3. What is the importance of having knowledge of Environmental Engineering? How
Environmental Engineering is related to your subject/field?
4. Write three differences between IEE and EIA?
5. One liter of water is analyzed and found to contain 5.0 mg TCE. What is the TCE
concentration in mg/L and ppmm?
6. What is the carbon monoxide (CO) concentration expressed in μg/m3 of a 10-L gas
mixture that contains 10 -6 mole of CO? MW of CO = 28 g/mole
7. The concentration of SO2 is measured in air to be 100 ppbv. What is this concentration in
units of μg/m3? Assume the temperature is 28 0C and pressure is 1 atm. MW of SO2 = 64
8. A football stadium is being constructed in Banke. The dimension of the ground is 110m *
70m. What is the area of the ground? Report this figure in ha, km2 and cm2. Which unit
is most appropriate in this case? Why?
9. Plastic beads with a volume of 0.04 m3 and a mass of 0.48 kg are placed into a container,
and 100 liters of water are poured into the container. What is the concentration of plastic
beads, in mg/L?
10. Wastewater sludge has a solids concentration of 10,000 ppm. Express this in percent
solids (mass basis), assuming that the density of the solids is 1 g/cm3.
11. A wastewater treatment plant discharges a flow of 1.5 m3/s (water plus solids) at a solids
concentration of 20 mg/L (20 mg solids per liter of flow, solids plus water). How much
solids is the plant discharging each day?
12. A lagoon has a volume of 1500 m3, and the flow into the lagoon is 3m3/hr. What is the
retention time in this lagoon?
13. A student recorded 50 mm /hr of rainfall in Dhulikhel area. If the duration of rainfall is 3
hours, how much water can be collected in the KU library Building? The area of the roof
of the building is 500 m2. Write assumptions made, if any, to solve this problem.
14. A Cement Factory emits 60 kg of suspended particles per hour in the crushing area. The
flow rate of the plume containing the particles is 700 L/s. What is the concentration of the
particles in ug/m3 in the plume?
15. In a house having a volume of 650 m3, the concentration of formaldehyde was found to
be 0.9 ppmv. If temperature is 298 K and pressure is 1 atm, What is the mass of
formaldehyde vapor inside the house in grams? The molecular weight of formaldehyde is
30.
