A factory uses 2,00,000 litres of furnace oil (specific density .097) per month. If for one million litres of oil used per year, the particulate matter emitted is 3.0 tonnes per year, SO, emitted is 59.7 tonnes per year, NO, emitted is 7.5 tonnes per year, hydrocarbons emitted are 0.37 tonnes per year, and carbon monoxide emitted is 0.52 tonnes per year, calculate the height of the chimney required to be provided for safe dispersion of the pollutants.

1. Due to government water privatization, a bustling metropolitan city is now home to substantial and continuous water supply. While before the supply was only 200 liters/sec on old pipes, it is now 350 liters/sec running on a new steel pipe network shown on the figure below. . Given: f = 0.015 (for all pipes except the outlet pipe) f = 0.014 (for outlet pipe) Compute the flow of water in the upper branch. Compute the flow of water in the lower branch. Compute the energy loss per unit mass between the inlet and the outlet.

• 1 million people in Hong Kong using low-flush toilet and low-flow shower head.• 1 million leaky toilet and Faucet. Find1. How much energy we can save?2. How much coal (Kg) we can save?3. How much CO2 we can reduce?4. How many African children (1 liter/kid/day) we can support? Energy needed to treat water1. Average energy use for water treatment drawn from southern California studies is 652 kWh per acre-foot (AF), where one AF = 325,853 gallons. Thermal Energy in Coal2. The thermal power plants consume about 0.45 kg of coal per kWh. Energy output/fire power plant3. A typical 500 megawatt coal power plant produces 3.5 billion kWh per year. CO2 Emission4. Taking coal to contain 50 percent carbon, which combines with oxygen during burning to form CO2, we can arrive at 1.83 kg CO2 for every 1 kg of coal burned.
