Question

Suppose the following atmospheric altitude vs. temperature data have been collected.

Altitude (m)	Temperature (oC)
0	20
100	18
200	16
300	15
400	16
500	17
600	18
700	19

(a) The temperature of a plume of smoke from a smoldering campfire (at ground elevation) is 21.5 ^oC. Determine the mixing height.

b) A weather anemometer at 10 m height measures the wind speed to be 2.6 m/s, determine the the wind speed at one-half the mixing height. Assume a Stability Class of C.

c) Determine the ventilation coefficient in units of m²/s.
