Question
You are located downwind from two oil burning power plants in rural areas. One is located 0.3km NNE of your location and burns 1400 kg of 0.5 percent sulfur oil per hour. The second plant is located 0.5 km NNW of you and burns 1600 kg/hr of fuel oil containing 0.75 percent sulfur. Aumme that both plant stakc have an effective height of 40m. The wind is blowing from the north at 3.3 m/s. For a class B stability condition, what is the SO2 concentration at your location at ground level, in micrograms per cubic meter? The wind speed is at the standard height of 10 m
Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction:
We may use the following formula to get the ground-level SO2 concentration at your location:
where:
- C is the SO2 concentration in micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³)
- F1 is the emission rate of the first power plant in kilograms per hour (kg/h)
- H1 is the effective height of the first power plant in meters (m)
- F2 is the emission rate of the second power plant in kilograms per hour (kg/h)
- H2 is the effective height of the second power plant in meters (m)
- u is the wind speed at the standard height of 10 meters in meters per second (m/s)
- σz is the vertical dispersion parameter in meters (m)
- σy is the lateral dispersion parameter in meters (m)
- H is the mixing height in meters (m)

- 3. 14-35E A water pump is used to pump water from one large reservoir to another large reservoir that is at a higher elevation. The free surfaces of both reservoirs are exposed to atmospheric pressure. The dimensions and minor loss coefficients are provided in the figure. The pump's performance is approximated by the expression Havailable = Ho - a V², where the shutoff head, Ho = 125 ft of water column, coefficient a = 2.50 ft/(gpm)², available pump head Havailable is in units of feet of water column, and the capacity V is in units of gallons per minute (gpm). Estimate the capacity delivered by the pump.

The cable is in an environment having a tem- perature of 30°C, and the total coefficient associated with convection and radiation between the cable and the environment is approximately 25 W/m².K. (a) If the cable is bare, what is its surface temperature? (b) If a very thin coating of electrical insulation is applied to the cable, with a contact resistance of 0.02 m² K/W, what are the insulation and cable surface temperatures? (c) There is some concern about the ability of the insula- tion to withstand elevated temperatures. What thick- ness of this insulation (k = 0.5 W/m .K) will yield the lowest value of the maximum insulation temper- ature? What is the value of the maximum tempera- ture when this thickness is used? Note: The 25 W/m²K includes not only convection but also radiation.arrow_forward
