Question 1.
Define the steady state assumption.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how this simplifies our equations.
Question 2.
What is bulk flow?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how this impacts our dispersion model.
3Question 3.
What does the steady-state assumption imply about pollutant concentration?
- It changes over time
- It remains constant over time
- It varies with location
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the definition of steady state.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Gaussian distribution is used to describe the spread of pollutant concentration.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the bell curve.
Question 5.
If a pollutant is released erratically rather than steadily, how would you revise the dispersion equation?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how transient effects differ from steady-state.
Question 6.
Calculate the maximum expected concentration of a pollutant in a Gaussian plume given a specific emission rate and wind speed.
Show hintHide hint
Remember that the peak typically correlates with the source height.
