Q. A wastewater is to be disinfected with 35 mg/L of chlorine to obtain 99% kill of micro- organisms. The number of micro-organisms remaining alive (Nt) at time t, is modelled by Nt No ekt , where No is number of micro-organisms at t = 0, and k is the rate of kill. The wastewater flow rate is 36 m3/h, and k = 0.23 min‒1. If the depth and width of the chlorination tank are 1.5 m and 1.0 m, respectively, the length of the tank (in m, round off to 2 decimal places) is______________
