- Sulphur dioxide is being emitted at a rate of 2.5 kg/s from a stack with an effective height of 160m (H). The average wind speed at stack height is 2.0 m/s in an atmospheric stability type B. a) Estimate the magnitude and location of the maximum ground level concentration. b) Estimate the magnitude and location of the maximum ground level concentration if the wind speed is doubled. c) Estimate the magnitude and location of the maximum ground level concentration if the stability type changes to C

Sulfur dioxide is emitted at a rate of 2 kg/s from the top of a chimney that is 120m high. The plume initially rises vertically a further 10m above the chimney exit, before being convected horizontally by a wind speed of 15m/s under conditions of neutral stability. The daytime isolation is moderate. Calculate a) The concentration on the plume centre-line at a distance of 800m downwind of the chimney b) The ground level concentration at a distance of 800m downwind...
