Consider the following pairs of quantity and how it varies:

Maximum ground level concentration - As the inverse square of effective height

Exit velocity - As the inverse square of stack diameter at constant flow

Plume rise - Inversely with wind speed

Distance to the maximum - Inversely with stack height

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

  • A.Only two
  • B.All four
  • C.Only three
  • D.Only one

Answer: C

Correct answer: Only three

Three hold: the maximum goes as \(1/H^2\); exit velocity goes as \(1/d^2\) at constant flow; and plume rise goes as \(1/u\). The fourth is the wrong way round - the distance to the maximum increases with stack height, because a plume released higher must spread further before it reaches the ground.
