Question: Determine the peak concentration ( mg / l ) and the time ( min ) for an accidental spill of 2 0 . 0 kg

Determine the peak concentration (mg/l) and the time (min) for an accidental spill of 20.0 kg of atrizine to pass an irrigation intake 3.0 km downstream of the spill. Report also the width of the concentration cloud when the center-of-mass passes the intake. The spill occurs in a creek of width 15.0 m and normal depth 1.5 m when the flow rate was 15.1 m^3/s.The effective longitudinal diffuson coefficient is 7.37 m2/s.Assume the atrizine is in liquid form and that the spill is well-mixed across the cross-section by the time it reaches the intake.
