Unsteady state mathematical model of chemically reactive pollutants from an instantaneous line source into a stable atmospheric boundary layer

Abstract

A time dependent atmospheric model represented for chemically reactive primary pollutants emitted from an elevated line source into a stable atmospheric boundary layer over a surface terrain. The model obtained from an analytical solution of the atmospheric diffusion equation with the quadratic diffusion coefficient (exchange coefficient) and the variable wind velocity taken to be of three different types’ viz. constant, constant shear and parabolic functions of vertical height. The pollutants considered to be of chemically reactive primary pollutants emitted from a time-dependent line source of Instantaneous type. In order to facilitate the application of the model the results for the general situation that includes chemical reaction rate & time dependent source incorporated in the model.
