Question 7 Mass balance budget (5 points each, final answer only with units) a- Q in = (0.02 m X 1.2 m) x (7m/sec) x (1000 L/m3) x (60 sec/min) x (60 min/h) x (24 h/d) = 1.45 X 10 E 7 L/d Q out = 6.91 X 10 E 8 L/d b- M in = (1.45 X 10 E 7 L/d) x (1.6 X 10 E-6 g/L) = 17.42 g/d M out = 17 280 g/d c- source Bonus question : SO2 (+4)
