An atrium in a hotel building is 20 m high and has a floor area of 600 m2. The atrium has relatively large openings at the floor level (-10 m2). An elevator door, which is 15 m above the floor, has a leakage area of 0.06 m, and smoke can spread from the atrium to the rest of the building, mainly through this leak. If the gas temperature in the atrium is 250°C and the ambient temperature is 20°C, calculate the mass flow rate through the elevator door.

8.77 According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel horizontal pipe must not exceed 1.0 psi per 150 ft of pipe for flowrates up to 500 gpm. If the water temperature is above 50 deg F, can a 6 inch diameter pipe be used by the contractor?

A paper plant is proposed for a location 1 km upwind from a town. It will emit 40 g/s of hydrogen sulfide, which has an odor threshold of about 0.1 mg/m3. Assume that winds at 10 m above ground are 2.5 m/s, and at the effective stack height they typically vary from 4 – 10 m/s blowing toward the town. If it is summer day with a few broken clouds, What stack height should be used to assure concentrations are no more than 0.1 times the odor threshold at the near edge of town (1 km away)? To be conservative, the stack will be designed assuming no plume rise. Will any buildings (e.g., the country cabin or the doghouse on the far edge of town) experience higher concentrations than a residence at the 1 km boundary? Briefly explain your answer.
! Required information Oil flow in a journal bearing can be treated as parallel flow between two large isothermal plates with one plate moving at a constant velocity of 5 m/s and the other stationary. Consider such a flow with a uniform spacing of 0.5 mm between the plates. The temperatures of the upper and lower plates are 40°C and 15°C, respectively. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Vm/s u(y) The properties of oil at the average temperature of (40+15)/2 = 27.5°C are k = 0.145 W/m-K and μ = 0.605 kg/m-s = 0.605 N-s/m² By simplifying and solving the continuity, momentum, and energy equations, determine the maximum temperature and where it occurs. The maximum temperature is 337.32 °C. The location of the maximum temperature is 0.369 mm above the bottom plate.

70 m^3 of air flows in an intake airway towards a working section. Before entering the working section 10 m^3/s is drawn off and passed through a filter leaving with a dust concentration of 120p/ml. 50 m^3 is passed through a bulk air cooler leaving with a dust concentration of 100 p/ml. After the remixing of the air streams and before the air enters the working section,the dust count of the mixture is 130p/ml. Calculate the dust concentration of the original 70 m^3/s.

Question - There is a small spill of a toxic material on a paved surface of a chemical plant. This spill has width 0.8 ft and a length of 2.5 ft. The wind is a 10 miles per hour in the direction parallel to the length of the spill. Estimate the rate of evaporation in grams per hour. There is no toxin in the air at time 0 and at infinite distance from the spill. Assume air to behave as an ideal gas. Assume the toxic material can be considered an ideal solution with psat = 22 mmHg. MWtoxin = 164.4 g/mol, Ptoxin =1.69 g/cm³, Pair = .001225 g/cm³, Hair= 0.0187 CP, MWair = 28.9 g/mol, Dtoxin,air = 0.0888 cm²/s.
