What will the ammonia concentration be 10 miles downstream

Reference no: EM13549258

A river that behaves as a plug flow reactor has a flow rate of 250 cfs with an average velocity of 1.25 ft/s. The concentration of ammonia is 6 mg/L at one point in the river. If the first – order decay coefficient for the conversion of ammonia to nitrate is 0.05 day-1, what will the ammonia concentration be 10 miles downstream.
