A pub opens its door for business at 6:00 PM. From 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. 50 smokers in the pub smoke 2 cigarettes per hour and each cigarette emits 4mg formaldehyde. Fresh air is introduced into the pub @ 1,000 m3/hr. At 8:00 P.M. the number of smokers in the pub increases from 50 to 75 and as a result, the fresh air flow rate is increased from 1,000 m3/hr to 1,500 m3/hr to flush out the stale air. Assume that all smokers in the pub still smoke 2 cigarettes per hour, what is the formaldehyde concentration (ppmv) in the air inside the pub @ 9:00 P.M.?

Assume 400 ft3/min (measured at STP) of a gas mixture (Stream F) at 150 °F and 1.70 atm is fed to a reactor. The mixture consists of 65 mol% methane and 35 mol% ethane. Air (Stream A) at 75 °F and 1.20 atm is fed to the reactor in 20% excess. Aside from the excess air, the flue gas from the reactor contains only CO2 and H2O(vapor), and comes out at 1300 °F and 1.0 atm. Assume all pressures are observed by reading a pressure gauge. Keep the units used in your solution consistent with those in the problem statement.
