Fluid Materials

In general terms, anything that flows can be termed as a fluid. In other words, a fluid is any substance that cannot resist shear forces and deforms continuously under the application of external shear forces. Fluid materials differ completely from solid materials such as metals and alloys. For instance, if we consider two infinitesimally small cross-sectional areas of fluid materials and solid materials, and apply shear forces to these elements, both the elements will undergo deformation. Upon releasing the shear force, the element of the solid materials will regain its original orientation, but the element of the fluid materials will keep on deforming continuously under the action of the shear force.

(4) [Text-problem 4.29] A 90-m³ basement in a residence is found to be contaminated with radon coming from the ground through the floor drains. The concentration of radon in the room is 1.5 Bq L- (becquerels per liter) under steady-state conditions. The room behaves as a CMFR, and the decay of radon is a first-order reaction with a decay rate con- stant of 2.09 × 10-6 s-1. If the source of radon is closed off and the room is vented with radon-free air at a rate of 0.14 m³ s-1, how long will it take to lower the radon concentration to an acceptable level of 0.15 Bq L-¹?
