Interactive Quizzes

Question 1

What is a semi-infinite system in contaminant transport?

  • A system with constant concentration far from the surface
  • A system that has infinite depth
  • A model assuming rapid fluctuation

💡 Hint: Think about how far we expect constant conditions.

Question 2

True or False: In most contaminant transport scenarios, convection is typically slower than diffusion.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relative speeds of these processes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A contaminated sediment layer has an initial concentration of 150 mg/kg. If diffusion coefficient is known to diminish this by 20% over a set time, how will you expect flux to change?

💡 Hint: Consider how diffusion directly corresponds to the concentration changes.

Question 2

In an experiment, sediment water interface measurements were taken before and after a storm, showing dramatic changes in contaminant levels. Discuss potential resuspension effects observed.

💡 Hint: Think about how storm action affects sediment stability.
