A city building has a stack that releases pollutants at a height of 10 meters. If the building is 8 meters tall, calculate if the current stack height is sufficient under average wind conditions of 2 m/s. Determine if the stack velocity meets standards.
💡 Hint: Check if the stack reaches high enough and if the velocity is adequate.
Assess how modifications to relief vents on a building can improve overall air quality. Consider the effects of building downwash in your solution.
💡 Hint: Think of how airflow needs to move through and around buildings.
