Briggs' plume rise formulae are based principally on

  • A.The buoyancy flux parameter
  • B.The stack's structural dimensions
  • C.The pollutant's molecular weight
  • D.The ambient relative humidity

Answer: A

Correct answer: The buoyancy flux parameter

Briggs’ formulae are built round the buoyancy flux

\[ F = g\, v_s r^2 \frac{T_s - T_a}{T_s} \]

which measures the rate at which the plume carries buoyancy upward. Rise is then expressed in terms of \(F\), the wind speed and the downwind distance - a physically based treatment that has largely replaced the older empirical formulae.
