Answer #1

flow rate of exhaust= 80 m3/min = 80*1000L/miin= 80*1000*60 L/hr =48*105 L/hr

moles of exhaust can be calculated from gas lawm n= PV/RT, P= 1atm,V= 48*105 L/hr, R=0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

T= 25deg.c =25+273= 298K, n= 1*48*105/ (0.0821*298)= 196192 moles/hr

emissions of CO =0.1%, emission per hour= 196192*0.1/100 = 196.192 moles/hr

mass of CO emitted =moles of CO per hr* molar mass= 196.192*28=5493 g/hr

this is the CO generated when travelling at 50 km/hr

hence CO generated/ kolometer= 5493g/hr/50 km/hr= 110 gm/kilometer

A tank of 0.1 m3 volume initially containing nitrogen at 25 C and 1 bar will be filled with compressed nitrogen at a rate of 20 mol/s. The nitrogen coming from the compressor and into the tank is at an absolute pressure of 110 bar and a temperature of 80 C. The filling process occurs sufficiently rapidly that there is negligible heat transfer between the gas and the tank walls, and a valve is closed to stop the filling process...
