CHBE 484. Assignment 5 Due date: March 7, 2014 1. (25%) It was estimated that 78,000 metric tonnes of CFC-113 and 353,000 metric tonnes of 1,1,1-trichloroethane were emitted into the atmosphere globally in 1989. The emission of these chlorinated solvents caused the depletion of stratospheric ozone layer and global warming. a. (15%) Calculate the overall ozone depletion impact and global warming impact due to the emission of CFC-113 and 1,1,1-trichloroethane. b. (10%) If CFC-113 is to be phased out and be replaced by an equal mass of 1,1,1-
trichloroethane. Calculate the reduction in overall ozone depletion impact index and global warming impact index based on the 1989 emission data. 2. (25%) In 1996, it is estimated that total 49.6 million tonnes of CO

O and 1.1% from PFCs. 3. (50%) A gaseous waste stream is generated within a plastic film processing operation from a drying step. The stream (12,000 scfm) is currently being vented to the atmosphere and it contains 0.5%vol. of total VOCs of equal amount of toluene and ethyl acetate. An absorption column and a distillation column are proposed to recover the toluene and ethyl acetate. In the absorption tower, tetradecane is used as the absorption oil. CO, CO

are emitted from reboilers burning #4 heating oil. The recovery efficiency can be improved by increasing the flow rate of absorption oil flow rate (i.e. n-tetradeane flow rate), which however, will increase the energy requirement, leading to higher combustion emissions. A waste audit based on process flowsheet estimates all pollutant emission rates from the process as shown in Table 2 for the base case without solvent recovery, the case with 99% toluene recovery, and the case with 99% reduction of both toluene and ethyl acetate. a. (20%) Calculate the overall environmental impacts on global warming, smog formation and acid rain formation of the waste streams from this process for three options. For those hydrocarbon compounds with no GHG impact potential provided in the IPCC report, estimate the potential by assuming complete oxidization to CO

shortly after releases. b. (20%) Calculate the reduction in non-carcinogenic risks for both proposed options based on TLV data provided in Table 2. c. (10%) Compare the base case and the two options, and discuss the impact of the proposed emission reduction options on the environment and human health.

Santa Monica Big Blue Bus operates a fleet of CNG buses, which run on compressed
natural gas (CNG), natural gas that has been compressed into a much smaller

carbon. If all of the natural gas is burned, how many kilograms of carbon dioxide will

The toy rockets were engineered so well that now you have dreams of creating a real life replica that can carry people to the space station. Aspirations of becoming rich and famous overcome your thoughts. You know that when this compound (Ammonium perchlorate) is heated at 200 C, it breaks down to a variety of gasses, including N2(g), Cl2(g), O2(g), and H2O(g). You know that the rocket will fly due to the sudden appearance of hot gaseous products in a small initial volume that will result from the rapid increase in the pressure and temperature. What total pressure of gas would be able to be produced at 800 C by igniting 7.0X10^5 kg of NH4ClO4 and allowing it to expand to a volume of 6.4X10^6 L? (ideal gas behavior)
