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.
