Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a factory emits pollutants at a rate of Q. If the cooling temperature changes, altering emission rates, how would you approach the modeling of this pollutant?
💡 Hint: What model can handle varying emissions?
A plume expands in three dimensions due to environmental factors. How would you mathematically represent the maximum concentration in this dispersion model?
💡 Hint: Think about how spread affects concentration visualizations.
