Calculate the concentration in the room described in Problem 1 under average and poor ventilation conditions, and compare the results to the OSHA PEL. Assume the room has dimensions 4 m  4 m  2.45 m.

Problem 1

Using Equation 6-4, calculate the rate of evaporation of a circular pool (1 m2 surface area) of ethylbenzene into a room where the temperature is 80o F and the ventilation produces an air velocity of 0.5 m/s. Use the methods described in Chapter 5 to estimate the vapor pressure of the liquid.
