We have calculated how the carbon monoxide concentration changes when subjects with different distributions of ventilation and lung diffusing capacity (Dl) respire in a small bag. The curve [loge CO concentration in the bag] versus [time] will sooner or later appear as a straight line. Dl is calculated from the slope of the rectilinear section of the curve and from lung and bag volume. If the curve becomes rectilinear within the period considered, Dl is calculated too low. In some cases the curve will not be rectilinear until more than 45 sec have passed, but will appear to be rectilinear during the period from 30 to 45 sec. If such an experiment is discontinued when 45 sec (the usual duration of experiment) have passed, Dl can be calculated at too high, at correct, or at too low values. nonuniform distribution of lung diffusing capacity Submitted on February 18, 1964

Potential hazards that often occur in underground tunnels are dangerous and toxic gases, one of which is carbon monoxide (CO) which can be found in underground tunnels for example as a result of imperfect detonation on work surfaces. CO gas is very poisonous so it can cause death. This study aims to determine the spread of CO gas when diluting with tunnel ventilation in the horizontal front. This research was conducted on a physical model of the laboratory with a ratio of 1:10 compared to the actual tunnel, that is at the cross section of the model in the laboratory 40 cm x 40 cm. The effectiveness of dilution or dilution is indicated by the value of the diffusion coefficient, where the greater the diffusion coefficient, the more diffused the CO gas concentration, so the faster the CO gas concentration decreases. The parameters of the test conditions are the ratio of the duct to face distance (L/D) and the Reynolds number (Re) which shows the variation of air velocity in the tunnel work surface. Test results from the distribution of CO gas showed the influence of the configuration of the forcing duct and exhausting duct distances on the working front to the CO gas dilution. In this study also found the influence of Reynolds numbers on the value of the diffusion coefficient, that the greater the value of Re, the greater the value of E.

This paper presents the design and development of a Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas detector for vehicles. A  gas sensor MQ7 was used to detect if there is any CO gas leakage in a vehicle. To develop a CO Smart Detector that operates systematically, Arduino Uno was used as a microcontroller to control the whole system. The gas detector would automatically alert the user inside the vehicles by triggering a warning using LED, buzzer and LCD display as indicators. An exhaust fan was also used to extract the polluted air from the vehicle. The colour, green, yellow or red would  appear on the LED automatically when there is a certain level of CO concentration in the vehicle. Green LED is for safe condition and yellow LED and buzzer with beep sound will be turned on automatically in an alert condition. Finally, red LED with its continuous sound would come on when the MQ7 sensor detects a dangerous level of CO concentration in the vehicle. In addition to the buzzer with its continuous sound to alert users, a fan to extract the air from inside the vehicle could be turned on automatically or manually using  a switch if the need arises.

The e-fluid heated in electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is largely composed of organic compounds, specifically propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin and flavouring compounds. When heated, as it is in an e-cigarette, the chemical species in this fluid have the potential to oxidise into carbon monoxide (CO) and other species. Using diode laser spectroscopy, the concentration of CO in e-cigarette mainstream effluent as a function of e-cigarette power and flavour was measured. Carbon monoxide concentration was found to be a direct function of the power of the resistive heating. At the highest powers testable using commercial e-cigarette components, the maximum CO concentration measured was over 180 ppm. The flavouring compounds in the e-fluid also had an effect on the concentration of carbon monoxide present in the effluent.

AbstractIn this study, Al2O3/Pd(NO3)2/zeolite composite films have been fabricated by roll coating method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The gas adsorption was tested in an experimental setup by a continuous gas analyzer KIMO KIGAZ 210 at constant temperature and pressure (32 °C and 1.5 bar) and as a function of reaction time (s). The inlet CO gas concentration was 150 mg L−1, and the saturation level of CO gas concentration was 5 mg L−1. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) and maximum adsorption efficiency (%) were calculated as 111.16 mg g−1 and 97%, respectively. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models were investigated to kinetic study of CO adsorption on Al2O3/Pd(NO3)2/zeolite adsorbents. Results indicated that CO adsorption follows the pseudo-second-order model well according to regression coefficient value (R2 = 0.98), and the value of pseudo-second-order rate constant of adsorption was obtained as 2 × 10−5 g mg−1 s−1. According to the intra-particle diffusion model, adsorption is affected by only one process. So, adsorption of CO by Al2O3/Pd(NO3)2/zeolite adsorbent indicated an effective adsorption by obtained results.
