6. A working area of a mine has diesel equipment operating within it. The maximum diesel loading is 750 kW. The same section of the mine also has a methane inflow of 0.25 m³/s flowing into it. If the maximum permissible methane concentration in the general body of the air is 0.5% and the design diesel air quantity is 5 m³/s per 100 kW of installed diesel power, determine the required ventilation flow rate for the working area.
