Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A factory emits pollutants at a rate of 500 kg/hour. Given constant wind speed and steady-state conditions, calculate the concentration at a distance of 100 meters downwind, considering the dispersion coefficient. Assume you have necessary constants.
💡 Hint: Remember the basics of Gaussian distribution.
If a pollutant dispersion is skewed due to changing wind directions, describe the implications for the accuracy of the Gaussian model and suggest a method to address this.
💡 Hint: Always consider the effect of environmental variables.
