Learning Objectives for 1 st Exam Be able to estimate the vaporization rate of a liquid and the expected ambient concentration. Be able to calculate the flow rate of liquids through a) a hole with constant back pressure; b) a hole in a tank; and c) through a broken pipe.
5
Learning Objectives for 1 st Exam Be able to calculate the flow rate of vapors/gases through a hole, adiabatic flow through a pipe and isothermal flow through a pipe. Be able to calculate the rate of release for a flashing and boiling liquid

In Class Homework Team Problem A gasoline filling station has an underground gasoline storage tank with a volume of 5000 gallons. The tank has a 1.0 inch diameter vent. The tank must be filled every week with 4000 gallons of gasoline through an 8 inch diameter opening from a tank truck. The tank is never emptied completely. It takes one hour to fill the tank from the truck. Vapor Pressure @77°F=4.6 psia, Approximate molecular weight=94 What is the gasoline concentration in ppm assuming an effective ventilation rate for outside exposures of 3000 ft 3 /min during the filling operation?
7
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution to Part A C ppm during filling (modified 3.24)
8
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution to Part A Eq. 3.18
9
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution to Part A Assume ½ of fill pipe “open” for evaporation A fill ~0.175ft 2
10
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution to Part A Assume worst case conditions –Φ=1 Splash Filling –k=0.1 Poor Mixing –Vapors escape through ½ of 8” hole during filling –Q v =3000 ft 3 /min –P=atmospheric=14.7 psia –P sat =4.6 psia
11
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution to Part A C ppm =9474 ppm If no evaporation through fill pipe 9302 ppm If neglect evaporation entirely 9297ppm

In Class Homework Team Problem A gasoline filling station has an underground gasoline storage tank with a volume of 5000 gallons. The tank has a 1.0 inch diameter vent. The tank must be filled every week with 4000 gallons of gasoline through an 8 inch diameter opening from a tank truck. The tank is never emptied completely. It takes one hour to fill the tank from the truck. Vapor Pressure @77°F=4.6 psia, Approximate molecular weight=94 What is the gasoline concentration in ppm assuming that the tank is vented with an effective ventilation rate of 3000 ft 3 /min when the tank is not being filled?
13
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution for Part B Modified Eq 3.14 Assume no gasoline in venting air and ideal gas
14
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution for Part B Eq. simplifies for evaporation through 1” vent C ppm = 5.4 ppm

In Class Homework Team Problem A gasoline filling station has an underground gasoline storage tank with a volume of 5000 gallons. The tank has a 1.0 inch diameter vent. The tank must be filled every week with 4000 gallons of gasoline through an 8 inch diameter opening from a tank truck. The tank is never emptied completely. It takes one hour to fill the tank from the truck. TLV for gasoline is 300 ppm What is the time weighted average exposure for a worker on a 10 hour shift during which the tank is filled? What is the time weighted average exposure for a worker on a 10 hour shift during which the tank is not filled?
16
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution for Part C & D
17
In Class Homework Team Problem Determine the average time-weighted concentration, C TWA, of hydrogen sulfide in ppm that would be estimated to cause 10% fatalities if exposed for 15 minutes. How many times greater is this compared to the TLV TWA, i.e., what is the Safety Factor?
18
In Class Homework Team Problem Solution for Problem 2 TLV TWA = 10 ppm (Table 2.8) From Handout in class C in ppm, t in min For H 2 S –a=-11.5 –b=1.0 –n=1.9
