(a) An open container containing methyl formate is kept in an enclosure.The average evaporation rate of the liquid is 0.3g/min, and the ventilation rate is 120ft/3min. The temperature and pressure of the system is 85F 1atm respectively. The molecular weight of methyl formate is 60.05lb/lbmol. Universal gas constant value is given as 0.7302ft3atm/bmolR. The nonideal mixing factor range from 0.15 to 0.60. TLV for methyl formate is 100ppm. Estimate: (i) The concentrations of methyl formate vapour in the enclosure. [5] (ii) Critically evaluate the answer and recommend whether the concentration is acceptable. If not, suggest suitable recommendations. [5] (b) (i) Explain the term toxic release with the first three steps in the consequence modeling procedure. [5] (ii) Describe the parameters affecting dispersion with a neat sketch of plume formed by the continuous release of materials. [10]
