The air shed over a city can be considered by a completely stirred tank reactor (cstr) model with two sides of 105 m in length and a mixing depth of 1000 m. wind blows at 4 m/s from one side of the box and exits from the opposite side. assume that within the box, the air is well mixed all the time. within the air shed, benzene (coho) is emitted by automobiles, power plants, and factories at a rate of 0.4 kg/s. no benzene is brought to the city by wind.

(a) what is the highest possible benzene concentration in the atmosphere?
(b) benzene is a known human carcinogen with a chronic potency factor of 2.9x102 (mg/kg/day) through inhalation. assume that a 70-kg person who breaths 20-m3 air a day has lived in the city all his life. what is the upper-bound lifetime incremental risk for inhaling benzene from air? according to the incremental risk, how many extra annual cancer deaths would be expected from the city if the city has a population of 1,000,000 and people living in the city have a life expectancy of 70 years?

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
