Problem 2: A home is on fire, and to prevent its spread to the next house, firefighters are spraying down the neighboring house. They reduce their flow rate so that the windows do not break, which would damage the inside of the home. The typical window can withstand a force up to 25 Ibf, what is the largest volumetric flow rate he should allow, given an 8-inch diameter (D1) firehose discharging through a nozzle with 4-inch diameter (d2) outlet. The free jet from the nozzle is deflected by 90° when it hits the window as shown. Window Noale Hose

Question - There is a small spill of a toxic material on a paved surface of a chemical plant. This spill has width 0.8 ft and a length of 2.5 ft. The wind is a 10 miles per hour in the direction parallel to the length of the spill. Estimate the rate of evaporation in grams per hour. There is no toxin in the air at time 0 and at infinite distance from the spill. Assume air to behave as an ideal gas. Assume the toxic material can be considered an ideal solution with psat = 22 mmHg. MWtoxin = 164.4 g/mol, Ptoxin =1.69 g/cm³, Pair = .001225 g/cm³, Hair= 0.0187 CP, MWair = 28.9 g/mol, Dtoxin,air = 0.0888 cm²/s.

Problem 5An analysis of the gas in an underground utility vault revealed 30 mg/m3 of hydrogen sulfide, which a workcrew discovered before entering the vault to perform repairs. Due to the permissible exposure limitationof 14 mg/m3, the work team started using a blower to ventilate the vault (cellar). Suppose the vault has a200 m³ capacity and the predicted duration of detention is 15 minutes. determinea) The flow rate of contaminant-free air in (m3/s) to lower the hydrogen sulfide level to a level thatwill allow the work crew to enter the vault?b) How long will it take to lower the hydrogen sulfide level to a level that will allow the work crew toenter?Assume the system behaves as a CSTR and that hydrogen sulfide is nonreactive in the time considered.Note: This is a case of flushing a nonreactive contaminant from a CSTR.

A paper plant is proposed for a location 1 km upwind from a town. It will emit 40 g/s of hydrogen sulfide, which has an odor threshold of about 0.1 mg/m3. Assume that winds at 10 m above ground are 2.5 m/s, and at the effective stack height they typically vary from 4 – 10 m/s blowing toward the town. If it is summer day with a few broken clouds, What stack height should be used to assure concentrations are no more than 0.1 times the odor threshold at the near edge of town (1 km away)? To be conservative, the stack will be designed assuming no plume rise. Will any buildings (e.g., the country cabin or the doghouse on the far edge of town) experience higher concentrations than a residence at the 1 km boundary? Briefly explain your answer.
