Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A factory emits 100 kg/h of a pollutant. If the wind speed is 5 m/s, calculate the expected concentration 100 meters downwind, considering the dispersion coefficients.
💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between emission rates and distance in the model.
Explain how seasonal wind patterns could potentially alter the assumptions of the Gaussian dispersion model in urban environments.
💡 Hint: Think about how consistent wind direction might change with the seasons.
