A coal fired powerplant emits 0.5 kg/s of SO2 into the atmosphere from a stack that has a physical height of 100 meters. There is no temperature inversion and the atmosphere is characterized by class B stability for open country conditions. Exhaust emissions are 120 degrees C, ambient temperature is 25 degrees C, the stack diameter is 2.5 meters, and the volumetric flow of the exhaust is 35 cubic meters per second. The wind speed is 2 m/s.
Calculate the plume rise of the emissions using the Holland equation and determine the effective emission height.
