Question: 1 0 ( a ) . Consider a tall stack emitting P M 2 . 5 at the rate of 1 5 g s in

10(a). Consider a tall stack emitting PM2.5 at the rate of 15gs in the atmosphere where the wind is blowing in X-direction with an average velocity of 4ms at the effective stack height. What will be the maximum ground level concentration in centerline if the Gaussian plume is assumed with dispersion parameters y=50m and z=30m? The physical stack height is 40m.(8 marks) The following equations may be used.
C(x,y,z)=QuHyzexp(-y22y2)exp(-H22z2)
h=vsdu[1.5+(2.6810-2(P)(Ts-TaTs)d)]
Q: source strength (e.g.,kgs-1);
x : the distance downwind from the source;
y: the lateral distance from the mean wind direction;
z : the height above ground level;
H:h+h, the effective height of the release, h is the physical height of the chimney;
h : the additional height by which the plume rises due to its buoyancy and/or momentum; uH(u) : the mean wind speed at plume height;
y: horizontal dispersion coefficient (standard deviation),m;
z: vertical dispersion coefficient (standard deviation),m
Gas exit velocity: vs=5.5ms;
Gas exit temperature (K):Ts=120C;
Stack tip diameter (m):d=3m;
Ambient temperature (K):Ta=20C;
Atmospheric pressure (kPa):P=101.3kPa.
