  1. Examples Review for first exam

  2. Learning Objectives for 1st Exam • Be able to define accident and loss statistics (OSHA Incident rate, FAR, Fatality rate) and be able to calculate FAR and Fatality rates • List the various responses of humans to toxic exposure and whether they are reversible.

  3. Learning Objectives for 1st Exam • Be able to explain the difference between ED, TD and LD. • Be able to determine the predicted response to various exposures using probit analysis. • Be able to calculate Threshold Limit Values (TLV) and time weighted TLV’s.

  4. Learning Objectives for 1st Exam • Be able to estimate the vaporization rate of a liquid and the expected ambient concentration. • Be able to calculate the flow rate of liquids through a) a hole with constant back pressure; b) a hole in a tank; and c) through a broken pipe.

  5. Learning Objectives for 1st Exam • Be able to calculate the flow rate of vapors/gases through a hole, adiabatic flow through a pipe and isothermal flow through a pipe. • Be able to calculate the rate of release for a flashing and boiling liquid

  6. In Class Homework Team Problem • A gasoline filling station has an underground gasoline storage tank with a volume of 5000 gallons. The tank has a 1.0 inch diameter vent. The tank must be filled every week with 4000 gallons of gasoline through an 8 inch diameter opening from a tank truck. The tank is never emptied completely. It takes one hour to fill the tank from the truck. • Vapor Pressure @77°F=4.6 psia, Approximate molecular weight=94 • What is the gasoline concentration in ppm assuming an effective ventilation rate for outside exposures of 3000 ft3/min during the filling operation?

  7. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution to Part A • Cppm during filling (modified 3.24)

  8. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution to Part A • Eq. 3.18

  9. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution to Part A Assume ½ of fill pipe “open” for evaporation Afill~0.175ft2

  10. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution to Part A • Assume worst case conditions • Φ=1 Splash Filling • k=0.1 Poor Mixing • Vapors escape through ½ of 8” hole during filling • Qv =3000 ft3/min • P=atmospheric=14.7 psia • Psat=4.6 psia

  11. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution to Part A • Cppm=9474 ppm • If no evaporation through fill pipe 9302 ppm • If neglect evaporation entirely 9297ppm

  12. In Class Homework Team Problem • A gasoline filling station has an underground gasoline storage tank with a volume of 5000 gallons. The tank has a 1.0 inch diameter vent. The tank must be filled every week with 4000 gallons of gasoline through an 8 inch diameter opening from a tank truck. The tank is never emptied completely. It takes one hour to fill the tank from the truck. • Vapor Pressure @77°F=4.6 psia, Approximate molecular weight=94 • What is the gasoline concentration in ppm assuming that the tank is vented with an effective ventilation rate of 3000 ft3/min when the tank is not being filled?

  13. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Part B • Modified Eq 3.14 Assume no gasoline in venting air and ideal gas

  14. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Part B • Eq. simplifies for evaporation through 1” vent • Cppm = 5.4 ppm

  15. In Class Homework Team Problem • A gasoline filling station has an underground gasoline storage tank with a volume of 5000 gallons. The tank has a 1.0 inch diameter vent. The tank must be filled every week with 4000 gallons of gasoline through an 8 inch diameter opening from a tank truck. The tank is never emptied completely. It takes one hour to fill the tank from the truck. • TLV for gasoline is 300 ppm • What is the time weighted average exposure for a worker on a 10 hour shift during which the tank is filled? • What is the time weighted average exposure for a worker on a 10 hour shift during which the tank is not filled?

  16. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Part C & D

  17. In Class Homework Team Problem • Determine the average time-weighted concentration, CTWA, of hydrogen sulfide in ppm that would be estimated to cause 10% fatalities if exposed for 15 minutes. • How many times greater is this compared to the TLVTWA, i.e., what is the Safety Factor?

  18. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Problem 2 • TLVTWA = 10 ppm (Table 2.8) • From Handout in class • C in ppm, t in min • For H2S • a=-11.5 • b=1.0 • n=1.9

  19. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Problem 2 • From Table 2.4 10% corresponds to Y=3.72 Some algebra

  20. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Problem 2 • More Algebra

  21. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Problem 2 • More algebra

  22. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Problem 2

  23. In Class Homework Team ProblemSolution for Problem 2 The concentration that would kill 10% of the people is nearly twice the threshold limit value
