A factory emits 200 kg of CO2 per hour, and the emission factor is 0.8 kg/kg of coal burned. If the daily burn rate of coal is 1 ton, calculate the total CO2 emissions for a week.
💡 Hint: Consider both hourly and daily rates.
If the wind speed at stack height is calculated using a power law and determined to be 12 m/s, but the measurement at the anemometer is taken at 30 m high where it was 10 m/s, discuss adjustments that might be needed.
💡 Hint: Think about how to apply the gradient equation.
