Question: a ) Derive a mathematical formula for the maximum mixing depth ( MMD ) for a hot, dry air pollution source ( Tsource > Tambient

a) Derive a mathematical formula for the maximum mixing depth (MMD) for a hot, dry air pollution source (Tsource > Tambient) into a subadiabatic atmosphere based on Tsource, Tambient, (dT/dz)adiabatic and (dT/dz)ambient.
b) Consider the emission of exhaust from a vehicle. The temperature of the exhaust is 50 degrees C and the exhaust behaves adiabatically. The ambient temperature is 25 degrees C and the ambient lapse rate is -5 degrees Ckm. What is the expected MMD for the emissions.
c) Do you think the emissions will rise to that predicted height? Why or why not?
