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

A welding rod with κ = 30 (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F) is 20 cm long and has a diameter of 4 mm. The two ends of the rod are held at 500 °
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

In Btu:

Q=0.001390 Btu.

In Joule:

Q=1.467 J

Part B:

Temperature at midpoint=274.866 C

Explanation:

Thermal Conductivity=k=30  (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F)= \frac{30}{3600} (Btu/s)/(ft.F)=8.33*10^{-3}  (Btu/s)/(ft.F)

Thermal Conductivity is SI units:

k=30(Btu/hr)/(ft.F) * \frac{1055.06}{3600*0.3048*0.556} \\k=51.88 W/m.K

Length=20 cm=0.2 m= (20*0.0328) ft=0.656 ft

Radius=4/2=2 mm =0.002 m=(0.002*3.28)ft=0.00656 ft

T_1=500 C=932 F

T_2=50 C= 122 F

Part A:

In Joules (J)

A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.002)^2\\A=0.00001256 m^2

Heat Q is:

Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{51.88*0.000012566*(500-50}{0.2}\\ Q=1.467 J

In Btu:

A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.00656)^2\\A=0.00013519 m^2

Heat Q is:

Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{8.33*10^{-3}*0.00013519*(932-122}{0.656}\\ Q=0.001390 Btu

PArt B:

At midpoint Length=L/2=0.1 m

Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L}

On rearranging:

T_2=T_1-\frac{Q*L}{KA}

T_2=500-\frac{1.467*0.1}{51.88*0.00001256} \\T_2=274.866\ C

Which of the following is true about the n-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

It is a type of ANOVA that can analyze several independent variables at the same time.

Explanation:

This is the statement that correctly describes the n-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). ANOVA is a type of analysis of variance that can analyze several independent variables at the same time. In this type of analysis, a dependent variable is measured by different levels of independent variables. When the results are obtained, these are assumed to be the consequence of the different levels of the independent variables, plus random error. The computation necessary for this analysis can be done in most types of statistical software.

Write a statement that assigns freeBooks the appropriate value based on the values of the boolean variable isPremiumCustomer and
solniwko [45]

Write a statement that assigns freeBooks the appropriate value based on the values of the boolean variable isPremiumCustomer and the int variable nbooksPurchased is described below

Explanation:

Online Book Merchants offers premium customers 1 free book with every purchase of 5 or more books and offers 2 free books with every purchase of 8 or more books. It offers regular customers 1 free book with every purchase of 7 or more books, and offers 2 free books with every purchase of 12 or more books.

A statement that assigns freeBooks the appropriate value based on the values of the boolean variable isPremiumCustomer and the int variable nbooksPurchased. Here's what we have:

if(isPremiumCustomer = true){

   if(nbooksPurchased >= 5));

        freeBooks = 1;  

   }else if(nbooksPurchased >= 8){

  freeBooks = 2;

}else {

if(nbooksPurchased >= 7);

  freeBooks = 1;

}else if(nbooksPurchased >= 12){

 freeBooks = 2;

}

We are getting an error of "illegal start of expression".

Two of the hints are "You are using an incorrect number somewhere in your solution" and "We think you might want to consider using: ==".

I do not want the answer, I just want pointed in the right direction.

What other ways could a wildfire be contained, extinguished, or slowed down?
galben [10]
Back burning, starting fires infront of the main fire to prevent the fire from spreading and depleting fuel for the fire, digging trenches so the fire has no where to go, dropping water from planes or helicopters.
