Question

A power plant in rough terrain has a 100-m stack with an inside radius of 1 m.  The plant emits 300 g/s of SO2 from the stack with an exit velocity of 10 m/s at a temperature of 120oC.  Ambient temperature is 6oC and the temperature increases at a rate of 2 K/km.  At 10 m above ground, surface windspeed is 1.5 m/s on a mostly cloudy night.  Find the concentration (mg/m3) of SO2:

  1. Directly downwind at a distance of 2 km.
  2. At a point located 2 km downwind and 0.1 km off the downwind axis.
  3. At the point downwind where it is a maximum. Approximately how far from the stack does this occur?
