Emission rates from building materials
Certain building materials emit formaldehyde (HCHO), a toxic air pollutant. The following technique is proposed to determine the emissions rate.
Place a sample of material that is to be tested in a CMFR. Close the chamber. The chamber volume is Vm3.
Supply uncontaminated air into the chamber at a flow rate of Qm3s. Allow air to flow out of the chamber at the same rate.
Monitor the HCHO concentration in the outlet air until a steady state concentration is reached Css(gm3)
Given V,Q, and Css from such an experiment, what is the HCHO emission rate from the sample in gs? Assume HCHO is non-reactive (i.e., does not undergo transformation within the CMFR).
