For assessing the compliance with the emissions standards of incineration plants, a correction needs to be applied to the measured concentrations of air pollutants. The emission standard (based on 11% Oxygen) for HCl is 50 mg/Nm
3
and the measured concentrations of HCl and Oxygen in flue gas are 42 mg/Nm
3
and 13%, respectively.
Assuming 21% Oxygen in air, the CORRECT statement is:

A Venturi meter with a throat diameter \( d = 2 \) cm measures the flow rate in a pipe of diameter \( D = 6 \) cm, as shown in the figure. A U-tube manometer is connected to measure the pressure drop. Assume the discharge coefficient is independent of the Reynolds number and geometric ratios. If the volumetric flow rate through the pipe is doubled (\( Q_2 = 2Q_1 \)), the corresponding ratio of the manometer readings \( \frac{\Delta_{h2}}{\Delta_{h1}} \), rounded off to the nearest integer, is ____.

A cylindrical tank with a diameter of \(500\ \text{mm}\) contains water (density \(=1\ \text{g}\cdot\text{cm}^{-3}\)) up to a height \(h\). A \(5\ \text{mm}\) diameter round nozzle, whose center is \(1\ \text{cm}\) above the base of the tank, has its exit open to the atmosphere. The pressure above the water level in the tank is maintained at \(2\ \text{bar (abs)
\). Neglect all frictional and entry/exit losses. Take \(g=10\ \text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}\) and atmospheric pressure \(=1\ \text{bar}\). The absolute value of initial \(\dfrac{dh}{dt}\) (in \(\text{mm}\,\text{s}^{-1}\)) when \(h=51\ \text{cm}\) is ____________ (rounded off to two decimal places).}

A bridge has an expected design life of 50 years. It is designed for a flood discharge of 1000 m\(^3\)/s, which corresponds to a return period of 100 years. Determine the risk (probability) that the design flood will be equalled or exceeded at least once during the design life of the bridge. (Enter the numerical value of risk in decimal form, correct up to three decimal places.)
