2. Wood smoke can be a source of carbon monoxide. Wood produces about 200 g of CO per kg of wood burned. Suppose you make a very large bonfire by burning 400 kg of wood per hour. Assume it is a clear night over rough terrain with the wind blowing at 2.4 m/s (as measured at 10 m). Assume the effective stack height is 6 m. A. What is the rate of CO production (Q) in g/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer will be "22,222 g/sec"

Explanation:

The given values are:

Speed of wing,

[tex]V_{w_{o}}=2.4 \ m/s[/tex]

Stack's height (effective),

[tex]H = 6 \ m[/tex]

Stack's height (measured),

[tex]h = 10 \ m[/tex]

Wood's burning rate,

[tex]r = 400 \ kg/hr[/tex]

Amount of produced CO,

[tex]A=200 \ g[/tex]

Now,

On converting the unit of wood's burning rate, we get

⇒  [tex]r=400 \ kg/hr[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=\frac{400\times 10^3}{60\times 60}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]= 111.11 \ g/sec[/tex]

So that,

The rate of CO production will be:

⇒  [tex]Q=A\times r[/tex]

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒      [tex]=\frac{200}{1000}\times 111.11[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=22.222 \ g/sec[/tex]
