Into a stream, with no trace of salt initially, a salt with a concentration of 20 mg/cc is introduced at a constant rate of 2 litres per minute. The samples collected at a downstream section sufficiently far away indicated an equilibrium salt concentration of 0.05 ppm. Determine the discharge in the stream from this data.

From the given data, we have
C0 = 0
C1 = 20mg/c.c. = 20/1000 = 0.02
C2 = 0.05 ppm = 0.05/106 = 5 x 10-8
q = 2 litres/minute = (2 x 10-3)/60
= 3.33 x 10-5 m3/s
From, Q = q(C1/C2 – 1)
= 3.33 x 10-5 [(0.02/5 x 10-8) – 1]
= 13.33 m3/s
