Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A chemical spill occurs on an impervious surface, releasing 100 liters of a volatile substance. Calculate the concentration of the substance in the air 30 minutes after the spill, considering a mass transfer coefficient of 0.1 m/s and an area of 10 m².
💡 Hint: Remember to factor in the effect of time on concentration changes.
Design a model predicting how long it will take for a 50-liter chemical spill on a lake to reach a hazardous concentration of 0.01 mg/L, given the transfer coefficients change with wind speed and temperature.
💡 Hint: Consider initial conditions like temperature and wind that might impact your coefficients.
