This book presents a general methodology for process engineering and design which can be applied to solve any specific air pollution control problem.
Problem- solving coverage includes optimization techniques, cost estimation methodology, control of gaseous pollutants emissions and nitrogen oxides emissions, the design of fabric filters, flue gas desulfurization systems, control of particulate matter emissions, and more.
Aimed at chemical engineers to fully exploit their potential for the solution of air pollution control engineering problems.
For senior chemical engineering students and practicing engineers, this text provides a rigorous treatment of equipment design and cost estimation, including optimization techniques. It uses SI units exclusively, and includes FORTRAN subroutines to aid in the solution of computationally complex problems. Abundant end-of-chapter problems are included, most accompanied by answers.
