STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Daily Influent Flow Rate: 1.2 Cubic Meter per Day --> 1.2 Cubic Meter per Day No Conversion Required
Maximum Yield Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Influent Substrate Concentration: 25 Milligram per Liter --> 25 Milligram per Liter No Conversion Required
Effluent Substrate Concentration: 15 Milligram per Liter --> 15 Milligram per Liter No Conversion Required
Reactor Volume: 1000 Cubic Meter --> 1000 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
MLVSS: 2500 Milligram per Liter --> 2500 Milligram per Liter No Conversion Required
Mean Cell Residence Time: 7 Day --> 604800 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k_d = ((Q_a*Y*(S_o-S))/(V*X_a))-(1/θ_c) --> ((1.2*0.5*(25-15))/(1000*2500))-(1/604800)

Evaluating ... ...

k_d = 7.46560846560846E-07

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.46560846560846E-07 1 Per Second -->0.0645028571428571 1 Per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.0645028571428571 ≈ 0.064503 1 Per Day <-- Endogenous Decay Coefficient
