Question

Dumping and other material-handling operations near a landfill may result in contaminated particles being emitted into the surrounding air. To estimate such particulate emission, the following empirical formula can be used:

(b) Interpret your answer in part (a).

Choose an interpretation. At mean wind speed 12 mph and 11% moisture, we find that many pounds of particles released per ton of soil moved At mean wind speed 11 mph and that percent moisture, we find 12 pounds of particles released per ton of soil moved At mean wind speed 12 mph and that percent moisture, we find 11 pounds of particles released per ton of soil moved At mean that wind speed and 12% moisture, we find 0.22 pounds of particles released per ton of soil moved At mean wind speed 0.22 mph and 12% moisture, we find that many pounds of particles released per ton of soil moved At mean wind speed 11 mph and 12% moisture, we find that many pounds of particles released per ton of soil moved At mean wind speed 11 mph and 0.22% moisture, we find that many pounds of particles released per ton of soil moved

Explanation / Answer

k = 0.17, M = 0.18, V = 11 E = k(0.0033)(V/5)^1.5(M/2)^-1.5 E = 0.17(0.0033)(11/5)^1.5(0.18/2)^-1.5 E = 0.17(0.0033)(2.2)^1.5(0.09)^-1.5 E = 0.067
