A two story home with an infiltration rate of 0.6 ach has 300 m² of total floor space and 2.4 meter high ceilings. A wood stove runs continuously in the winter and emits CO at the rate of 200 mg/hr into the house. On Christmas Eve, a gas oven operates from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. and two gas burners operate from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Assuming the CO concentration in the air outside the home is 2 ppm, what is the CO concentration in the house at 8 p.m. on Christmas eve? (Assume the temperature in the home is 25°C).

2. Consider a "tight" 300 m3 home with o.2 ach infiltration rate. The only source of CO in the home is the gas range and the ambient concentration of CO is zero. Suppose there is no CO in the home at 6 pm, but then the oven and two burners are on for 1 hour. Assuming the air is well mixed in the house, estimate the CO concentration in the home at 7 pm and again at 10 pm.
Q4)) A reservoir has an average area of 500 km², its evaporation estimated to be 75% of class A pan evaporation. The net radiation observed from the water in class A pan was 5.25 MJ/m?.day and the total latent heat for evaporation was 2.75 kJ/gm. Calculate the monthly evaporation of the reservoir in (Liters)? Also, determine how many people can be used this evaporated water if the per person consumption (160 L/cap/day)?
A monomedia anthracite filter is designed with the following specifications: effective size 1.1 mm, uniformity coefficient 1.4, and density 1650 kg/m³. Calculate the backwash rate required to get 25 percent bed expansion at the design summer temperature of 22 C (p = 998.7 kg/m³, μ = 9.55 x 10-4 kg/m-s).

Consider a 300 m3 home with an infiltration rate of 0.2 ach, temperature of 25oC, and pressure of 1 atm. Assume carbon monoxide (CO) is a conservative pollutant, the only source of CO in the home is the gas range, and the ambient concentration of CO is always zero. Suppose there is no CO in the home at 6 PM, but then the oven and two burners are turned on for one hour. Estimate the CO concentration in the home at 7 PM and again at 10 PM (3 hours after turning off the range). Use Table 7.13 as needed Does this system exceed the 8-hr NAAQS for CO (9 ppm(v))?

Determining Whole-Building Ventilation Rates for Residential Buildings Whole-building ventilation replaces an amount of stale, indoor air with ventilation from the outdoors. It is intended to dilute indoor pollutants and provide acceptable air quality. ASHRAE Standard 62.2, Ventilation and Acceptable Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, defines the roles and minimum requirements for mechanical systems, natural ventilation systems, and building envelopes intended to provide acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) in residential buildings. We will use the following formula from ASHRAE Standard 62.2 to calculate the total required ventilation rate: Q = 0.15A floor + 3.5 (Nhr + 1) Where: Q is the total required ventilation rate (L/s) A floor is the dwelling-unit floor area (m2) Nbris the number of bedrooms (not to be less than 1) Once we know the ventilation rate in a space of a given volume, we can also calculate the steady-state CO2 concentration using the following formula: GNK…
