2. Consider a "tight" 300 m³ home with o.2 ach infiltration rate. The only source of CO in the home is the gas range and the ambient concentration of CO is zero. Suppose there is no CO in the home at 6 pm, but then the oven and two burners are on for 1 hour. Assuming the air is well mixed in the house, estimate the CO concentration in the home at 7 pm and again at 10 pm.

A convective kerosene heater is tested in a well-mixed 60 m3 chamber having an air exchange rate of 0.4 ach. After 2 hours of operation, the nitric oxide (NO) concentration reached 6.5 ppm. Treating NO as a conservative pollutant, estimate the NO source strength of the heater (in mg/hr). Assume: Standard Temp and Pressure
Consider a 300 m3 home with an infiltration rate of 0.2 ach, temperature of 25oC, and pressure of 1 atm. Assume carbon monoxide (CO) is a conservative pollutant, the only source of CO in the home is the gas range, and the ambient concentration of CO is always zero. Suppose there is no CO in the home at 6 PM, but then the oven and two burners are turned on for one hour. Estimate the CO concentration in the home at 7 PM and again at 10 PM (3 hours after turning off the range). Use Table 7.13 as needed Does this system exceed the 8-hr NAAQS for CO (9 ppm(v))?

A 1.5-ft³rigid tank contains saturated refrigerant-134 at 170 psia. Initially, 20 percent of the volume is occupied by liquid and the rest by vapor. A valve at the top of the tank is now opened, and vapor is allowed to escape slowly from the tank. Heat is transferred to the refrigerant such that the pressure inside the tank remains constant. The valve is closed when the last drop of liquid in the tank is vaporized. Determine the total heat transfer for this process. R-134a, Sat. mixture P = 170 psia V = 1.5 ft³
