Question: ( a ) Consider a box model for an air shed over a city ( 1 * 1 0 ^ { 5 }

(a)
Consider a box model for an air shed over a city \(1*10^{5}\mathrm{~m}\) on a side with a mixing depth of 1200 m . Winds with no \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) blow at 4\(\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}\) against one side of the box. \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) is emitted in the box at a rate of \(20\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\). If \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) is considered to be conservative, estimate the steady-state concentration in the air shed.
(b)
With the same air shed and ambient conditions as given in (a), above, assume that emissions occur only on weekdays. If emissions stop at 5 pm on Friday, estimate the \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) concentration at midnight. If they start up again on Monday at 8 am, what would the concentration be by 5 pm (on Monday).
