In Boston, due to the large amount of snowfall during winter of 2014-2015, the city has brought in several "snow dragons" to melt the snow. Model SND5400 is rated at: 180 ton snow rated capacity per hour (Based on Latent Heat of Ice) No. 2 Fuel Oil or Diesel Fuel Type, Jet A Fuel Propane, and Natural Gas available for stationary units Fuel storage capacity of 3,000 US gallons Burner Output at 54,000,000 btu/hr Measures 68' long x 11'6" wide x 12'4" high The USEPA states that there are 22,300 lb CO₂ emitted per 1000 gal of No. 2 fuel oil burned. The heat content of No. 2 fuel oil is 140 MMBtu/10³gal.

(a) How many lbs of CO₂are generated per hour when operating at maximum capacity? 

(b) Calculate the lbs of CO₂are generated per ton of snow melted.

(c) If the snow has a density of 24.97 lb/ft³, calculate the lbs of CO₂are generated per ft³of snow melted.

(d) If the snow is 79 inches deep, and the road is 30 ft in width, calculate the lbs of CO₂that are generated in clearing the snow from a length of road 9 ft.

(e) Based on the weighted average combined fuel economy of cars and light trucks in 2011, the amount of CO₂emitted per mile driven was 0.92594 lbs CO₂/mile. Calculate the "equivalent miles" driven in clearing the snow from a length of road 9 ft (as in part (d)).
