Many households in developing countries prepare food over indoor cook stoves with no ducting system to exhaust the combustion pr

oducts outside. A woman in a household lights a fire in her cookstove at 4 pm. The fire emits benzo(a)pyrene, a carcinogenic compound, at a rate of 0.01 ng/min. The house has a size of 40 m3 and a ventilation rate of 1 m3/h. The ambient indoor air concentration of benzo(a)pyrene was 0.2 ng/m3 when she started the fire, but no significant concentration of benzo(a)pyrene is found in the outdoor air. What is the indoor benzo(a)pyrene concentration in the household at 6 pm?

Answer:

   C = 0.22857 ng / m³

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem for part the total time in the kitchen is

          t = 2h (60 min / 1h) = 120 min

The concentration (C) quantity of benzol pyrene is the initial quantity plus the quantity generated per area minus the quantity eliminated by the air flow. The amount removed can be calculated assuming that an amount of extra air that must be filled with the pollutant

amount generated

         C = co + time_generation rate / (area_house + area_flow)

         C = 0.2 + 0.01 120 / (40+ 2)

         C = 0.22857 ng / m³

Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the comp
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 358.8K

b) 181.1 kJ/kg.K

c) 0.0068 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100kPa

P2= 800kPa

T1 = 22°C = 22+273 = 295K

q_out = 120 kJ/kg

∆S_air = 0.40 kJ/kg.k

T2 =??

a) Using the formula for change in entropy of air, we have:

∆S_air = c_p In \frac{T_2}{T_1} - Rln \frac{P_2}{P_1}

Let's take gas constant, Cp= 1.005 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Solving, we have:

[/tex] -0.40= (1.005)ln\frac{T_2}{295} ln\frac{800}{100}[/tex]

-0.40= 1.005(ln T_2 - 5.68697)- 0.5968

Solving for T2 we have:

T_2 = 5.8828

Taking the exponential on the equation (both sides), we have:

[/tex] T_2 = e^5^.^8^8^2^8 = 358.8K[/tex]

b) Work input to compressor:

w_in = c_p(T_2 - T_1)+q_out

w_in = 1.005(358.8 - 295)+120

= 184.1 kJ/kg

c) Entropy genered during this process, we use the expression;

Egen = ∆Eair + ∆Es

Where; Egen = generated entropy

∆Eair = Entropy change of air in compressor

∆Es = Entropy change in surrounding.

We need to first find ∆Es, since it is unknown.

Therefore ∆Es = \frac{q_out}{T_1}

\frac{120kJ/kg.k}{295K}

∆Es = 0.4068kJ/kg.k

Hence, entropy generated, Egen will be calculated as:

= -0.40 kJ/kg.K + 0.40608kJ/kg.K

= 0.0068kJ/kg.k

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W

\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.
