Transcribed Image Text:

A power plant burns 5.45 tonne of coal per hours and discharges the combustion products through a stack that has an effective height of 75 m. The coal has a sulfur content of 4.2 percent, and the wind velocity at the top of the stack is 6 m/s. The atmospheric conditions are moderately to slightly stable. Determine the maximum ground-level concentration of SO2 and the distance from the stack at which the maximum occurs. Note: 6/σ is constant and the atmosphere condition is day time with incoming solar radiation is strong and surface wind speed of 6 m/s. From data in pervious example determine the ground level concentration at a distance of 3 km downwind at the centre-line of the plume and at a crosswind distance of 4 km on either side of the centre-line.
