Problem 3-3
For the following air mixture, determine the the mixture TLV and determine if
this TLV has been exceeded. The mixture contains: 4 ppm of carbon
tetrachloride with a TLV of 5 ppm, 25 ppm of 1,1–dichloroethane with a TLV of
100 ppm, 5 ppm of diethylamine witn a TLV of 5 ppm, 20 ppm of
cyclohexanol with a TLV of 50 ppm, and 10 ppm of propylene oxide with a
TLV of 2 ppm.

Problem 3-4
An open container was monitored and found to have a toluene evaporation rate of
0.1 g/min. The ventilation rate is 2.84 cu m/min, the temperature is 27 deg C and
the pressure is 1 atm. Estimate the concentration of toluene vapor in the
enclosure and compare it to the TLV of 50 ppm. Do this for a k of 1.0 and 0.1.

Problem 3-5
An ideal liquid mixture of benzene and toluene (50 % each) is used in a plant
at 27 deg. centigrade and 1 atm. Determine a) the mixture TLV, b) the
evaporation rate per unit area for this mixture, and c) the ventilation rate
required to keep the concentration below the TLV if the drum bung diameter
is 5.1 cm. Assume the ventilation quality within the vicinity is average.
