A ground level contamination source emits 0.45 g/s of a toxic gas into a 2.5 m/s wind. Assuming no initial rise of the gas at the point of release, what is the maximum ground-level concentration (in µg/m3) 500 m downwind from the source if the plume's standard deviations are oy = 76 m and oz = 38 m?

Kelon Mus has another plan to build a mining factory at the surface of Edog-1. This mining factory will emit a massive amount of saturated air parcels which have the same temperature as the surrounding environment (40°C). Describe the vertical movement of the emitted air parcel, and possible changes in regional climate patterns(
A stack 75 m tall ( as shown) emits a plume at 20 oC. The surrounding air is at 20 oC. Is the resulting plume looping, fanning, fuming, or lofting?
A paper plant is proposed for a location 1 km upwind from a town. It will emit 40 g/s of hydrogen sulfide, which has an odor threshold of about 0.1 mg/m3. Assume that winds at 10 m above ground are 2.5 m/s, and at the effective stack height they typically vary from 4 – 10 m/s blowing toward the town. If it is summer day with a few broken clouds, What stack height should be used to assure concentrations are no more than 0.1 times the odor threshold at the near edge of town (1 km away)? To be conservative, the stack will be designed assuming no plume rise. Will any buildings (e.g., the country cabin or the doghouse on the far edge of town) experience higher concentrations than a residence at the 1 km boundary? Briefly explain your answer.
An 80 m stack is emitting a plume with a rise of 15 m at an emission rate of 300 mg/s in an atmosphere with a wind velocity of 10 m/s and stability class C. Determine the concentration of the dispersed plume at ground level, 4 km downwind from the stack and 40 m to the left of the stack.

Problem- In a pressure penstock 4500 m long, water is flowing at a velocity of 4 m/s. If the velocity of the pressure wave travelling in the pipe, due to sudden complete closure of a valve at the downstream end, is given as 1500 m/s. What will be the period of oscillation under frictionless conditions.
The rate of emission of SO2 from the stack of a power plant is 126.1 g/s. The effective heigth of the stack is 46m. Calculate the SO2 concentration in parts per million at a parking lot located 900 m downwind from the stack on a sunny October day when the wind velocity is 4 m/s. Use class C stability and rural conditions

A new municipal waste combustor burns 300 tons/day of waste and produces 100 dscf of emissions per lb of waste burned. The plant just meets the NSPS emission standards and has an effective stack height of 100 m and is located in a rural area. Under C stability and a windspeed of 4 m/s measured at 10 m, determine Cmax and xmax for (a) PM, (b) Pb in micrograms per cubic meter, and m, respectively
