Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Evaluate the practicality of using the Gaussian model to predict pollution from a factory with varying emission rates across different times of the day.
💡 Hint: Consider how daily changes in activity at the factory might influence emissions.
Propose a scenario where using a puff model would yield significantly different results compared to a steady-state model.
💡 Hint: Think about events that happen suddenly versus those that are continuous.
