Chapter 4, Problem 4.18P
Each person in a room is assumed to be producing carbon dioxide at the average rate of 0.0107 cfm (5.0 ml/s) and air with a CO2 concentration of 280 ppm is being supplied to the room at the rate of 6000 cfm (2.8 m3/s). It is desired to keep the concentration level of CO2 in the space below 1000 ppm. Assuming complete mixing, determine how many persons could occupy the room and not exceed the desired CO2 level.

QUESTION 2
A new induced raft cooling tower is circulating 120 000 L/h of water that is cooled from
50 °C to 22 °C. How much blow-down and make-up is required to maintain the
concentration of dissolved solids in the circulating water at four times the concentration
in the make-up water?
Assume the following:
- The evaporated water contains no dissolved solids so all solids entering the
system in the make-up must be removed by blow-down and windage.
- The windage value of the induced draft cooling tower is 0.3% for each 5.6 °C.
- The evaporative losses value is 1.1%.
Polluted air can have carbon monoxide (CO) levels of 15.0 ppm. An average human inhales about 0.50 L of air per breath and takes about 20 breaths per minute. How many milligrams of carbon monoxide does the average person inhale in an 8-hour period in this level of carbon monoxide pollution? Assume that the carbon monoxide has a density of 1.2 g/L. (Hint: 15.0 ppm CO means 15.0 L CO per 106 L air.)
A river has a flowrate of 3 m3/s. A stream discharges into the river at a flowrate of 0.05 m3/s. A tracer is added to the stream for research purposes. Determine the minimum concentration of tracer in mg/L that must be achieved in the stream so that 1.0 mg/L of tracer can be measured after the river and stream mix (downstream)? What mass rate in kg/d of tracer must be added to the stream? (Assume complete-mix reactor).
