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?

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
