Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If the effective diffusivity of a pollutant is measured to be 0.5 m²/day in water and the porosity of the sediment is 0.4, how would you assess the retardation factor if the partitioning coefficient is 3.5?
💡 Hint: Keep in mind the base number when calculating the retardation factor.
Question 2
Explain how variations in sediment types might alter the effective diffusivity and retardation factor for a contaminant. Provide examples of two sediment types.
💡 Hint: Consider how water moves differently through coarse versus fine materials.
