You have been asked to evaluate worker exposure to benzene in a chemical processing facility. You would like to use a passive / diffusive sampler since you find the advantages of this approach very appealing. You have obtained the sampling rates for the specific brand of monitor that your company uses (see attached page) and have looked up the sampling rate for benzene based on the Full NIOSH validation (research report 1312) a. Assuming that you would like to be able to detect an airborne concentration equal to 1/10th of the current OSHA PEL for benzene, what is the minimum amount of time that you would need to place the monitor on the worker?b. Would you be able to use this monitor to evaluate exposure based on the OSHA STEL (15 min TWA) for benzene - explain/ support your answer with calculations c What are the advantages and disadvantages of diffusive samplers for workplace exposure monitoring?

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
