Homework $-$ False Air via Oxygen Balance

Given the following data, determine the volumetric flow of false air being introduced to the system $($at ambient conditions$)m^3*h^{-1}.$ You may use the Gas Flow spreadsheet to calculate the ambient air composition and the altitude correction factor. Show all other work. STP $=0C$ and $1$atm.
