Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a known human carcinogen and causes a variety of health effects. Formaldehyde can be introduced to indoor air from a new carpet, fiberboard, and other building materials. After Hurrican Katrina in 2005, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided 100,000 trailers and mobile homes for displaced gulf coast residents. Unfortunately, those trailers were built with materials that emitted high levels of formaldehyde. Testing in 2007-2008 found an average indoor formaldehyde of 95 ug/m3 with a range of 4-730 ug/m3 (https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/ehhe/trailerstudy/assessment.htm) Adverse respitory effects are observed when formaldehyde is greater than or equal to 120 ug/m3.
Assume the average trailer volume is 70m3 and the air changes 2.5 per hour (ach). The decay constant for formaldehyde is 0.4/hour and the ambient outdoor concentration is 2 ug/m3
A) calculate steady state emission rate that gives you 95 ug/m3
B) These concentrations were measured when the trailers were 2 years old and the emission rate had significantly decreased by that time. New material rates as high as 290 mg/hr have been reported. Calculate the steady state HCHO concentration (ug/m3) resulting from that emission rate.
C) Compare the answers for threshold adverse respitory effects
In the late 1990's the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designed an experiment to model the flow of the Tennessee river downstream of the Kentucky Lock and Dam.
A culvert under a road must be 35m long, have a slope of 0.0035 and carry 4m^3/s. The crown of the roadway is 4.2m above the culvert invert. Assume the outlet will discharge freely.
The force exerted by the potatoes on the frame at one side of the chair is equivalent to horizontal and vertical forces of 24 N and 84 N, respectively, at E and a force of 28 N perpendicular to member BH at G.

A 1.5m diameter barrel (concrete barrel, well-rounded entrance) that is 20 m long is installed on a slope of 2 percent. The design discharge is 9.5 m^3/s and the inlet will be submerged but not the outlet.
(a) how many pounds of ferric chloride per million gallons are used (b) how many pounds of hydrated lime per million gallons are used, assuming a purity of 70 % CaO
Water enters the pump of a steam power plant as saturated liquid at 20 kPa at a rate of 45 kg/s and exits at 6 MPa. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies and assuming the process to be reversible
A weir is to be installed to measure flows in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 m3/sec. If the maximum (total) depth of water that can be accommodated at the weir is 1m and the width of the channel is 4m, determine the crest height of a suppressed weir that sh..
The first pipe of 400mm diameter is 500 m long, the second pipe 600 m long, size 300mm, and the last pipe is 500m long of diameter 200mm. If the elevation difference between two reservoirs is 30m
Compute the maximum acceptable tensile service load T that may act on a single angle L6x4x3/4 that is welded along only one leg to a gusset plate; thus, there are no holes. The service load is three times the dead load. Solve for a0 A36 steel.
Determine the appropriate yellow and all-red interval to use for each phase. Assume a 10 ft/sec2 deceleration rate, a one second reaction time, and a 20 ft. vehicle length. Round up yellow and all-red times to the nearest ½ second.
