(10 marks) The density of a liquid is 1500 kg/m3? Calculate the mass (in lbm) of 3.5 US gallons of the liquid. (30 marks) The emissive power of a blackbody depends on the fourth power of the temperature and is given by: W = AT 4 , Where: W = emissive power [Btu/ hr.ft2] -8 A = Stefan-Boltzmann constant (0.171x10 ) [Btu/ft2.hr. R4] T = temperature [R] What is the numerical value of A in the units [J/m2.s.K4], given that 1K=1.8R? 3. (30 marks) The concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) inside a garage is 40 g/m3, which is at 300K and 758 mm Hg pressure. Calculate the concentration in ppm (mass) and ppm (volume). Assume the molecular weight of the air is 29 kg/kmol. The molecular weight of carbon monoxide is 28 kg/kmol and the gas constant, R, is 8314 J/kmol.K. 4.
