CE312 Assignment#7

This document appears to be an assignment from a class on environmental engineering. It contains 4 questions related to atmospheric stability, pollution dispersion modeling, and back-calculating emission rates from measured pollutant concentrations. The instructor provides background information, parameters, and conditions to use in answering the questions. Calculations and explanations are required to be shown for the first two questions regarding stability classifications and dispersion modeling. The last two questions involve using provided data to calculate pollutant concentrations and emission rates.

Assignment #7

1. Determine if the atmosphere is unstable, neutral, or stable based on the following temperature
profiles, show your work and explain your choices.

Case Elevation (Z) (m) Temperature (T) (°C) Case Elevation (Z) Temperature (T) (°C)
(m)
a 1.5 -4.49 d 2 5.00
349 0.10 50 5.00
b 8 18.55 e 2 -21.01
339 17.93 50 -25.17
c 2 5.00 -- -- --
50 4.52

2. Given the following observations, use the key to stability categories (as given in table 7-8) to
determine the stability:
a) Clear winter night at 2:00 A.M.; wind speed of 2.8 m/s
b) Summer afternoon at 1:00 P.M. with broken low clouds; wind speed of 5.2 m/s
c) Clear summer afternoon at 1:00 P.M.; wind speed of 1.6 m/s
d) Overcast summer night at 1:30 A.M.; wind speed of 2.1 m/s
e) Overcast winter morning at 9:30 A.M.; wind speed of 6.6 m/s
f) Thinly overcast winter night 8:00 P.M.; wind speed of 2.4 m/s

3. Calculate the concentration (in g/m3) resulting from an emission of 1976 g/s of SO2 into a 2.5
m/s wind s (the wind speed is measured at 10m elevation), at a location 15 km downwind at a
distance 0.2km perpendicular to the plume centerline. Knowing that the time is 1:00 A.M. on a
clear winter night in a rural area. Assume an effective stack height of 85 m.

4. You measured a gaseous pollutant concentration on a clear summer afternoon at a wind speed
of 3.2 m/s (the wind speed is measured at 10m elevation), and you found that the gaseous
pollutant concentration is 1520 µg/m3 at a location 1 km downwind and 0.5 km perpendicular to
the plume centerline from a plant located in an urban area. Given the following parameters and
conditions, determine the emission rate of the plant.

Stack parameters: Height = 25m, Diameter = 1.5 m, Exit velocity = 12 m/s, Temperature = 322 °C

Atmospheric conditions: Pressure = 100 kPa, Temperature =28 °C
