1. Consider a 1000 MW power plant located in a rural area with 15 ton/day SO2 emissions from a 100 m high stack. The velocity and temperature of the stack gases lead to an effective stack height of 50 m above the physical stack. Estimate the ground level concentration as a function of distance downwind under the following conditions. a. The emissions are into a clear daytime atmosphere with wind (at 10 m) of 5 m/s. b. The emissions are into a clear nighttime atmosphere with wind (at 10 m) of 2 m/s. C. The conditions of a. except there is a strong elevated inversion at an altitude of 200 m.

1. Consider a 1000 MW power plant located in a rural area with 15 ton/day SO2 emissions from a
100 m high stack. The velocity and temperature of the stack gases lead to an effective stack
height of 50 m above the physical stack. Estimate the ground level concentration as a function
of distance downwind under the following conditions.
The emissions are into a clear daytime atmosphere with wind (at 10 m) of 5 m/s.
b. The emissions are into a clear nighttime atmosphere with wind (at 10 m) of 2 m/s.
The conditions of a. except there is a strong elevated inversion at an altitude of 200 m.
