Credit points: 6.00
Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. H. C. Watson
Contact: 26 hours of lectures and 4 hours of practice classes
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion students should understand the basic chemistry of pollutant formation and ways in which changes to the reacting components can be used to control air pollutants; comprehend the difficulties of the measurement process as experimental methods for individual and regional sources; have skill in modelling a limited range of combustion processes and have knowledge of methods which can be employed to minimise community costs of pollution control.
Content:
The nature of flames. Liquid and solid fuel combustion. Pollutant formation in combustion processes, parametric effects on concentrations. Modelling methods. Control measures. Measurement methods, driving procedures and dynamometer tests for the emission of gaseous pollutants, particulate matter and air toxins from road vehicles and stationary engines. Stationary and mobile emission inventories. Modelling the urban mobile emission source. Methodology of least cost strategies for urban and global air pollution control.
Assessment:
Two one-hour written tests; assignments, practice class and laboratory work to a maximum of 5,000 words.
