A 1900-m3 water tower has been cleaned with a chlorine solution. The vapors of chlorine in the tower exceed allowable concentrations for the work crew to enter and finish repairs. If the chlorine concentration is 15 mg · m−3 and the allowable concentration is 0.0015 mg · L−1, how long must the workers vent the tank with clean air flowing at 2.35 m3 · s−1

A control, process for a glass furnace will remove boron from the 1400 oF furnace by cooling the exhaust to 275 oF in an evaporative cooler to condense B2O3. The cooled exhaust will then pass through a ro verse-jet filter to remove suspended dust, including the B2O3 particulates. Draw a preliminary flow sheet for the process, indicating any auxiliary equipment needed, List any operating difficulties you think might arise with this system.
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

11-11. Sodium fluoride has a solubility of 4 percent over the temperature range com- monly encountered in water treatment. A water containing 0.3 mg/L F is to have its concentration increased to 1.2 mg/L F. For a flow of 10,000 m³/day, determine the weight of sodium fluoride used per day. If the chemical is fed as a 4 percent solution, what is the appropriate flow rate?
An auditorium is 100m in length, 70m in width, and 20m in height. It is ventilated by a system that feeds in fresh air and draws out air at the same rate. Assume that airborne impurities form a well-stirred mixture. The ventilation system is required to reduce air pollutants present at any instant to 5% of their original concentration in 30 min. What inflow (and outflow) rate is required? What fraction of the total auditorium air volume must be vented per minute?
