On a summer day when the wind speed is 3 ms a tank truck


On a summer day when the wind speed is 3 m/s, a tank truck loaded with liquid chlorine is involved in an accident that results in a small split in the tank and a leak of 30 kg/min at the top of the tank. (The chlorine escaping is all in vapor form). The accident occurs on the throughway in a city at a location where there are three very large apartment buildings about 300 m downstream. The threshold limit value (TLV) for chlorine is 3 mg/m3. (Hint: In your solution, assume that in an emergency estimate, for all practical purposes, gas density differences can be neglected and the leak is at ground level).
