Maximum Yield Coefficient given Sludge Age Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Yield Coefficient = ((1/Sludge Age)+Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant)/Specific Substrate Utilization Rate
Y = ((1/θ_c)+K^e)/U
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Yield Coefficient - Maximum Yield Coefficient is the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Sludge Age - (Measured in Day) - Sludge Age is the average time for which the particle of suspended solids remains in aeration.
Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant is used for designing a complete-mix activated-sludge system.
Specific Substrate Utilization Rate - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Specific Substrate Utilization Rate is the rate at which a microbial population consumes a substrate per unit of biomass present.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sludge Age: 5 Day --> 5 Day No Conversion Required
Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant: 2.99 1 Per Day --> 3.46064814814815E-05 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)
Specific Substrate Utilization Rate: 0.5 1 Per Second --> 0.5 1 Per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Y = ((1/θ_c)+K^e)/U --> ((1/5)+3.46064814814815E-05)/0.5

Evaluating ... ...

Y = 0.400069212962963

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.400069212962963 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.400069212962963 ≈ 0.400069 <-- Maximum Yield Coefficient
