Question 1.
What does the steady-state assumption imply about pollutant concentration?
Show hintHide hint
Think about time vs. location.
Question 2.
Explain what a Gaussian distribution looks like.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the shape and symmetry.
3Question 3.
What assumption must remain constant for the steady-state model to be valid?
- Emission rate
- Weather conditions
- Pollutant type
Show hintHide hint
Think about what affects concentration over time.
4Question 4.
The Gaussian distribution curve is characterized by which shape?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Visualize the shape of the curve.
Question 5.
Given a Gaussian model with an emission rate of 100 kg/day and standard deviations of σy = 10 meters and σz = 5 meters, calculate the concentration at a point (20m, 10m, 0m).
Show hintHide hint
Use the Gaussian equation as a reference.
Question 6.
Describe what modifications to the Gaussian model would be necessary if the source of emissions changes height over time.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how changing elevation affects pollutant spread.
