Review”A elaborate publication with technical data abound, this book is both a textbook for engineering students and a reference for engineers and technicians,” (Environmentalist, February 2009)
From the Back CoverUnique problem-and-solution approach for speedily mastering a wide range of calculations
This book’s problem-and-solution approach enables readers to speedily understand the fundamental principle of air pollution control instrumentation and necessary applications. Moreover, the author sets forth solid principles for the design and selection of air pollution control instrumentation as well as for it is effective operation and maintenance. Readers gain a deep understanding of both the instrumentation itself and the numerous elements affecting performance.
Following two basi chapters, the book dedicates four chapters to examining control instrumentation for gaseous pollutants, including adsorption, absorption, and incineration equipment. The remaining six chapters deal with instrumentation for managing airborne particulate pollutants, including gravity settlers, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers, and baghouses. The appendix holds discussions of hybrid systems, the SI scheme (including conversion constants), and a cost-equipment model.
Each chapter offers a short introduction to the control device discussed. Next, progressively more difficult difficultnesses with accompanying solutions enable readers to build their psychological result of perception learning and reasoning as they advance through the chapter. Problems reflect the most recent developments in pollution control and include a potpourri 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 elaborated solution. Readers may further hone their attainments by visiting the text’s Web website for further and added troubles and solutions.
This publication serves both as a textbook for engineering students and as a reference for engineers and technicians who need to assure that air pollution control instrumentation operates expeditiously and enables their facility to meet all air pollution control standards and regulations.
