3. The effective height of the stack of a power plant is 125 ft. The plant burns 5 ton of lignite (a low-grade coal) per hour; the lignite has a sulfur content of 1.5%. Wind speed is 6 m/sec, and the Pasquill- Gifford stability category may be taken as D. Calculate the rate of chemical emission as follows: Q= (5 ton lignite/hr) (0.015 ton S/1 ton lignite) (907kg S /1 ton S)(1 mol S)/(32 x 10 kg S)(1 mol SO2/ 1mol S) (64g So:/(1mol SO;) a. Estimate vertical and lateral plume dimensions at a distance 500 m downwind, and at a distance 5 km downwind. b. Estimate steady-state SO, concentration in a shopping district 5 km downwind.

Compute the effective stack height of a coal burning power plant with physical stack height of 200 m and stack diameter of 0.8 m, stack gas exit velocity of 18.3 m/sec, temperature of gas 140°C, when the ambient air temperature is 8°C, atmospheric pressure is 1000 millibars and average wind speed is 4.5 m/sec. Also compute the emission rate of sulphur dioxide of the plant assuming burning of 24,000 tonnes of coal per day with a sulphur content of 4.2%.
9. Consider the NOx emissions from two rural sources. The second source is located 500 m south and 500 m east of the first source. Source 1 emits 20.5 g/s and has an effective height of 100 m. Source 2 emits 35 g/s and has an effective height of 150 m. Sketch the locations of the stacks and the receptor site. Determine the concentration at a receptor located 4 km east and 200 m south of source one. Atmospheric conditions are neutral with a westerly wind of 5 m/s measured at 10 m.
A paper plant is proposed for a location 1 km upwind from a town. It will emit 40 g/s of hydrogen sulfide, which has an odor threshold of about 0.1 mg/m3. Assume that winds at 10 m above ground are 2.5 m/s, and at the effective stack height they typically vary from 4 – 10 m/s blowing toward the town. If it is summer day with a few broken clouds, What stack height should be used to assure concentrations are no more than 0.1 times the odor threshold at the near edge of town (1 km away)? To be conservative, the stack will be designed assuming no plume rise. Will any buildings (e.g., the country cabin or the doghouse on the far edge of town) experience higher concentrations than a residence at the 1 km boundary? Briefly explain your answer.
