*4.1.13. Water pollution in the Hudson River has claimed considerable attention, especially pollution from sewage outlets and industrial wastes. To determine accurately how much effluent enters the river is quite difficult because to catch and weigh the material is impossible, weirs are hard to construct, and so on. One suggestion that has been offered is to add a tracer of Br ion to a given sewage stream, let it mix well, and sample the sewage stream after it mixes. On one test of the proposal you add 10 pounds of NaBr per hour for 24 hr to a sewage stream with essentially no Br in it. Somewhat downstream of the introduction point a sampling of the sewage stream shows 0.012% NaBr. The sewage density is 60.3 lb/ft 3 and river water density is 62.4 lb/ft 3 . What is the flow rate of the sewage in pounds per minute?
