Question:

Emergency response for the rupture of a chemical pipeline is being evaluated. The chemical is estimated to discharge from the pipeline at a rate of \(4.53 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}\). The concentration of concern is \(100 \mathrm{ppm}-\) anyone downwind who is exposed to a concentration higher than this must be evacuated. Calculate the downwind evacuation distance. The pipeline is at ground level. The molecular weight of the released material is 17.03. The sunlight is moderate and the wind speed is \(3.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Assume \(1 \mathrm{~atm}, 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and rural conditions.
