Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the dispersion of a pollutant using a known emission factor and mixed concentration at varying heights. Include both environmental and adiabatic considerations.
💡 Hint: Use real data if available to ground your calculations in reality.
If a factory emits pollutants at an emission factor of 1.2 kg per ton with a stack height of 25 meters, estimate how far the pollutants would travel before they reach ground level.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to factor in the wind speed and temperature variations.
