Consider a 300 m3 home with an infiltration rate of 0.2 ach, temperature of 25oC, and pressure of 1 atm. Assume carbon monoxide (CO) is a conservative pollutant, the only source of CO in the home is the gas range, and the ambient concentration of CO is always zero.  Suppose there is no CO in the home at 6 PM, but then the oven and two burners are turned on for one hour.    Estimate the CO concentration in the home at 7 PM and again

Question

Consider a 300 m3 home with an infiltration rate of 0.2 ach, temperature of 25oC, and pressure of 1 atm. Assume carbon monoxide (CO) is a conservative pollutant, the only source of CO in the home is the gas range, and the ambient concentration of CO is always zero.  Suppose there is no CO in the home at 6 PM, but then the oven and two burners are turned on for one hour.   

  1. Estimate the CO concentration in the home at 7 PM and again at 10 PM (3 hours after turning off the range).  Use Table 7.13 as needed 
  1. Does this system exceed the 8-hr NAAQS for CO (9 ppm(v))?
