Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pollutant enters a lake with a concentration of 100 mg/L. How would you model the mass transfer coefficient to measure the rate at which this pollutant spreads in the water?
💡 Hint: Consider how both convection and diffusion affect the spreading of pollutants.
Describe how you would experimentally determine the mass transfer coefficient in a lab setting when studying air-water interactions.
💡 Hint: Think about the experimental designs involving boundary layer measurements.
