Question: For a typical particle size distribution ( refer previous homework ) , compute the outdoor air PM 1 0 and PM 2 . 5 concentrations

For a typical particle size distribution (refer previous homework), compute the
outdoor air PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in \mu g m3. Assume that the particle density is
uniform with size at 1.0 g cm3.
from previous home work answer that I got are
PM10=62.19\mu g/m^3
PM2.5=38.796\mu g/m^3
(b) Consider a simple model of particles in indoor air. The indoor environment is
represented as a single well-mixed reactor. The only source of particles in this model
is outdoor air. Air flows through the building at a rate \lambda v = Q/V [=] h1, bringing
particles in from outside and also removing particles that are inside. Particles are also
lost from indoor air by deposition onto room surfaces, with a rate constant \beta [=] h1.
Given the parameters \lambda v and \beta , derive an expression for the steady state ratio of
indoor to outdoor particle concentration, Ci/C0.
(c) For residential buildings, assume \lambda v of 0.5 h1. The deposition loss rate is a strong
function of particle size, and is reasonably represented by the following expressions:
 For a typical particle size distribution (refer previous homework), compute the
