SUMMARY
To calculate the air flush time for an airliner cabin of 30,000 cubic feet containing 10,000 ppm of substance X, the flow rate of fresh air is 600 cubic feet per minute. The goal is to reduce the concentration of X to 100 ppm. By establishing a differential equation for the amount of X (denoted as "p") over time, one can determine the time required to achieve the desired concentration level.
