Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A factory emits pollutants at an emission rate of 75 kg/day. Given that wind speed is 5 m/s and the stack is 30 m tall, discuss how you would estimate the dispersion parameters.
💡 Hint: Consider how local measurements affect dispersion.
If the wind rose for a location indicates 70% winds from the south and 30% from the east, how should a new factory be located to minimize pollution impact on nearby residents?
💡 Hint: Think about wind patterns when placing industrial sites.
