Fundamentals of World Energy Use

Population growth has a direct relation to the growing energy demand of mankind. A major emphasis has been laid on the usage of various energy supplies from both renewable and nonrenewable energy sources to meet the global energy demand. The energy supply from burning renewable energy sources such as bioenergy, hydropower, and natural gas has accounted for clean release of the by-products and zero carbon emissions. On the other hand, large-scale energy supply from the combustion of fossil fuels forms the global energy system. Fossil fuels fulfill two-thirds of the world's energy consumption.

A point source Gaussian plume model for a power plant uses 50 m as the effective stack height. You are concerned about pollutant levels at night, and the night is typically fully overcast with a wind speed of 5 m/s. Your concern in with ground-level pollution at two house locations, A and B, which are 1.2 and 1.4 km directly downwind from the stack. (a) At what distance will the maximum concentration of pollution occur under these conditions? Which location (A or B) would have the higher level of pollution?(b) Suppose during the day the sky clears up, and the atmosphere becomes moderately unstable, and the wind speed stays around 5 m/s. Will the location downwind at which the maximum concentration occurs move? If so, will it move closer to the stack or further away from the stack? (H remains 50 m). (c) Under the new conditions in part b, which house would experience the most pollution?

On an afternoon with moderate incoming solar radiation and an average wind speed of 2.5 m/s at a height of 10 m above the ground surface, a power plant emits sulfur dioxide at a rate of 0.01 kg/s.

Consider flow from a water reservoir through a circular hole of diameter D = 0.16m at the sidewall at a vertical distance H from the free surface. The flow rate through an actual hole with a sharp-edged entrance (?? = 0.47) is considerably less than the flow rate calculated assuming “frictionless” flow and thus zero loss for the hole. Disregarding the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, obtain a relation for the “equivalent diameter” of the sharp-edged hole
Environmental Engineering: A simple way to model air pollution over a city is with a box model that assumes complete mixing and limited capability for the pollution to disperse horizontally or vertically except in the direction of the prevailing winds (for example, a town located in a valley with an inversion layer above it). Consider a town having an inversion at 250m, a 20km horizontal distance perpendicular to the wind, a wind speed of 2m/s, and a carbon monoxide (CO) emission rate of 60kg/s (see attached image). Assume the CO is conservative and completely mixed in the box. What would the CO concentration be in the box?
