Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an emission rate of 200 g/s, calculate the concentration of SO₂ at coordinates (100, 0, 0) in a stability class D environment with σ values available as σy = 50m, σz = 30m.

💡 Hint: Substitute the values into the Gaussian equation carefully.

Question 2

Design an air quality monitoring study with three emission sources and their distances, detailing how to account for wind direction in estimations.

💡 Hint: Consider the impact of wind direction on plume behavior!
