[ Adapted from Crowl 5 - 3 ] A chemical pipeline going from Mobile, AL passing through the highly rural Washington, Clarke, Marengo, and Hale

[Adapted from Crowl 5-3] A chemical pipeline going from Mobile, AL passing through the highly rural Washington, Clarke, Marengo, and Hale counties. Emergency response to a rupture in this pipeline is being evaluated. If there were a rupture, it is expected that the discharge rate would be 4.53kgs. The concentration of concern is 100ppm- anyone downwind who is exposed to a concentration higher than this must be evacuated. If the pipeline is built at ground level and the MW of the chemical is 17.09gmol, calculate the expected downwind evacuation distance for Mobile, AL, as an urban center, and the rural locations along the route described. Assume we are modeling a summer: day in July, and the temperature is an average of 90F across the length of the pipeline.
