Air Pollution Control Equipment Calculations

Informationen zum Autor Louis Theodore , PhD, is a Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at Manhattan College. He is a coauthor of Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration , Second Edition and Handbook of Chemical and Environmental Engineering Calculations (both from Wiley). Dr. Theodore has received awards from the International Air and Waste Management Association and the American Society for Engineering Education. Klappentext Unique problem-and-solution approach for quickly mastering a broad range of calculationsThis book's problem-and-solution approach enables readers to quickly grasp the fundamentals of air pollution control equipment and essential applications. Moreover, the author sets forth solid principles for the design and selection of air pollution control equipment as well as for its efficient operation and maintenance. Readers gain a deep understanding of both the equipment itself and the many factors affecting performance.Following two introductory chapters, the book dedicates four chapters to examining control equipment for gaseous pollutants, including adsorption, absorption, and incineration equipment. The remaining six chapters deal with equipment for managing airborne particulate pollutants, including gravity settlers, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers, and baghouses. The appendix contains discussions of hybrid systems, the SI system (including conversion constants), and a cost-equipment model.Each chapter offers a short introduction to the control device discussed. Next, progressively more difficult problems with accompanying solutions enable readers to build their knowledge as they advance through the chapter. Problems reflect the most recent developments in pollution control and include a variety of performance equations and operation and maintenance calculations. Each problem includes a statement of the problem, the data used to solve the problem, and a detailed solution. Readers may further hone their skills by visiting the text's Web site for additional problems and solutions.This publication serves both as a textbook for engineering students and as a reference for engineers and technicians who need to ensure that air pollution control equipment operates efficiently and enables their facility to meet all air pollution control standards and regulations. Zusammenfassung Air Pollution Control Equipment Calculations provides the reader with the fundamentals of air pollution equipment with the appropriate applications to provide an introduction to design principles. Each chapter contains problems dealing with performance equations, operation, maintenance and recent developments.
