- Next time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your car’s gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in gallons, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighborhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.arrow_forwardCalculate the volume flow rate in gallons/minarrow_forwardWater is available at a rate of 2000 L/min to a small apartment complex, consisting of four units. If at a given time, units 1, 2, and 3 are consuming 9 kg/s, 7 kg/s, 8 kg/s, respectively, how much water is available to unit 4? Express your answer in m3 ⁄s and kg/s.arrow_forward

- You are in an old spy movie and have been locked into a small room (volume 1,000 ft3). You suddenly realize that a poison gas has just started entering the room through a ventilation duct and that the poisonous air is not leaving the room. What is the correct formula for mass conservation? you are safe as long as the concentration is less than 100 mg/m3. If the ventilation airflow rate in the room is 100 ft3/min and the incoming gas concentration is 200 mg/m3, how long do you have to escape?
