Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a factory emits 200 kg of pollutants intermittently over 30 minutes, calculate how to model this using the Puff Model. Consider how dispersion is affected by wind speed of 5 m/s and air stability parameters.
💡 Hint: Break down the problem into steps, considering how particles behave and factors like wind speed affect spread.
Discuss a scenario where environmental variations would lead to significant discrepancies between Puff Model predictions and actual dispersion of pollutants, and propose ways to enhance model accuracy.
💡 Hint: Consider external influences that could cause changes in dispersion patterns.
