Kerosene heaters that are used for indoor heating are known to produce NO2, a highly toxic gas. NO2 poses a health hazard to people living in the household. Formulate a model to develop an expression for the change in NO2 concentration as a function of time. When the heater is on, it generates NO2 at a constant rate of SA moles per unit time. Ventilation air coming from the outside of the house at a volumetric flow Q contains no NO2 whereas the exit ventilation (also at the volumetric flow Q) will carry away NO2 at a concentration equal to that in the house. Here we assume that the air in the house is perfectly mixed. Assume that NO2 decomposes spontaneously with a first order reaction rate constant k (time-1). a. Take an unsteady state material balance for NO2 and derive a differential equation for the change in NO2 concentration with time. The heater is turned on at t = 0 and at that time, there is no NO2 in the house air. b. What is the steady state concentration of NO2 in the house if the heater is kept turned on continuously? c. Now consider that the heater is turned off at time t = t0. Under this condition, house ventilation will gradually decrease the concentration of NO2 in the house. Determine how the concentration changes with time under this condition.
