The underground storage of a gas station has leaked gasoline into the ground. Among the constituents of gasoline are benzene, with a Kd value of 1.8 L/kg for the soil in that location, and toluene, with a Kd of 3.3 L/kg. The soil has a solids density of 2.6 kg/L and a hydraulic conductivity of 2.9 × 10^-5 m/s and is 37% pores (by volume). The site is to be remediated by pumping out and treating groundwater from a well 15 m downgradient from the site of the spill, where the water table is 0.4 m lower than at the leaking tank. How long will it take for:

a. benzene
b. toluene to reach the well?

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.
