Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the steady-state assumption in the Gaussian dispersion model?

💡 Hint: Think about how concentration behaves over time.

Question 2

Easy

What does a bell curve represent in the context of pollutant concentration?

💡 Hint: Consider how concentrations differ from the center to the edges.

Question 1

What does the steady-state assumption entail?

  • Concentration changes with time
  • Concentration remains constant over time
  • Concentration decreases over time

💡 Hint: Focus on what 'steady-state' implies in terms of time.

Question 2

True or False: The shape of a Gaussian dispersion curve is symmetric.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the standard shape of a bell curve.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
