Particle emissions in a house. The power goes out in your apartment (volume = 150 m3) at night, so you decide to light a few candles. These candles have a combined particle emission rate of E = 2.0 mg/h. Your apartment has a ventilation flow of 1.5 m3/min and the particles have a first order loss rate (due to deposition, which acts similar to a reaction) of 0.25 h−1, so: Write the differential equation and define the source and loss terms. Calculate the values for the source and loss terms and rewrite the differential equation with these values. What is the steady state particle concentration in your house (in μg/m3)

2. Families in a community in a developing country use large, 200.0 L drums to un-treated surface water. You are designing a device that is designed to dose the volume with a coagulant, stir to allow flocculation, then add chlorine tablets to disinfect the water. The water is 25 °C and initially contains 1.0E+09 particles per L. The initial particles can be assumed to be spherical, 15.0 micrometers in diameter, and with a density of 1.675 g/mL. a. If the drums have a diameter of 572 mm, how long will it take for the particles to completely settle without any coagulation or flocculation? (answer in seconds) You have determined that you can achieve complete destabilization of particles by achieving an ionic strength of 0.01 M or higher. If you use alum (Al2(SO4)3) as a coagulating agent, what mass of alum must be added per batch of 200 L? (answer in grams) How many joules of energy would be required to stir the drum at a mixing intensity of 150 s-' for 20 minutes? If the drum is stirred…

Question 2. A coal fired power station requires an ESP for dust removal from the flue gas. The influent flu gas has a concentration of 5200 mg/m3 of dust particles and a flow rate of 150 m3/s. The smallest particles in the gas stream are 1.5 um in diameter, and all particles have a dielectric constant of 5.5. The emission standard is 50 mg/m3. Assume a plate-to-plate spacing of 30 cm and an applied voltage of 15,000 volts. Each plate is 20 m long and 15 m high.

A small lake with volume 10,000 m3 has a stream flowing into it with flow rate 100 m3/day and a Toluene concentration of 1.0 mg/m3. A factory discharges 5 m3/day into the lake with Toluene concentration of 10 mg/m3 – they want to increase effluent to 50 mg/m3. Toluene decays at a rate of 0.01/day. Assume steady-state and completely mixed (CSTR). a) How would this increase in discharge concentration change the lake concentration? b) Field studies show that the same lake would be better represented by dividing the lake into two cells. The first cell having a volume of 2,500 m3 and the second with 7,500 m3. How does this affect the estimate of concentration leaving the lake? Compare with one-cell model.Assume the factory continues to discharge at 10 mg/m3 into the first cell.c) Why does modeling the lake as multiple cells impact the final concentration leaving the lake? What do you expect might happen to the final concentration leaving the lake if we modeled it as more cells? How would…
