1. [5 points] Consider an instructor infected with the
SARS-CoV-2 virus lecturing in a room. The volume of the room is V
[m3 ]. The air in the room is filtered via the HVAC system, which
has volumetric flow rate Q_HVAC [m3/s]. The lecturer
emits the virus at rate E [RNA copies/s]. (a) 2 1/2 points Using
dimensional analysis, identify an expression for the average virus
concentration in the room C [RNA copies/m3 ] in terms of the
parameters listed above. (b) 2 1/2 points Generate an expression
for the average virus dose D [RNA copies] for a student in the
room. You can assume D depends only on the concentration C from
part (a), the rate at which the student inhales and exhales air QB
[m3/s], and class duration T [s].
