Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What happens during stacktip downwash?

  • Gases disperse into the atmosphere
  • Gases recirculate back to the surface
  • Gases are contained within the stack

💡 Hint: Remember the interaction of wind and stack emissions.

Question 2

Stack gas velocity should be higher than wind speed to reduce downwash. True or False?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between gas and wind speeds.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A new factory is proposed to be built in an urban area. The stack’s gas velocity is expected to be 10 m/s, and the average wind speed is 5 m/s. Evaluate whether this design prevents stacktip downwash, and recommend changes if needed.

💡 Hint: Evaluate the relationship between the gas velocity and wind speed.

Question 2

Discuss how a tall building positioned near a factory stack might impact local air quality. What strategies should be employed to mitigate potential negative effects?

💡 Hint: Consider the phenomenon of building downwash.
