Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with modeling a new power plant's emissions using the Gaussian distribution. Given the emission rate and the spatial dispersal parameters, calculate the expected pollutant concentrations at specified distances.
💡 Hint: Consider the equations we derived earlier and apply them to this new scenario.
Critically evaluate how change in wind direction and speed might affect pollutant distribution modeled by the Gaussian distribution.
💡 Hint: Reflect on boundary conditions and how wind affects dispersion.
