Question

I need a solution with clear steps for this engineering question:

 

1. Examine the following atmospheric altitude versus temperature data: Altitude (m) Temperature (°C) 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 20.0 19.0 18.0 16.5 15.0 14.0 15.5 17.0 18.0 19.0 20.5 a. What would be the mixing depth of 28 °C pollution that is emitted at ground level and rises at the dry adiabatic lapse rate? Mixing depth is defined by the elevation at which the temperatures of ambient air and emitted air pollution become equal. b. How high would you expect a plume to rise if it is emitted at 24 °C from a 200-m stack, and it rises at the dry adiabatic lapse rate? c. At an altitude of 500 m, would you expect the plume to be looping, coning, fanning, or fumigating? Why?
