Air Pollution Effects on Visibility3 Air Pollution Control PhilosophiesEmission Standard*Air Quality Standard *Emission Tax (税）*Cost BenefitWhat is Emission Standard? Answer: It is the regulation of the upper limit concentration values of the pollutants emitte

9、d from the smoke stack. These maximum values are determined by the acceptable pollutant concentration value on the ground according to the diffusion theory calculation. What is Air Quality Standard? Answer: It is the regulation of the maximum (threshold) value of the pollutant concentration in air.

10、These (threshold) values will not lead to air pollution damage on human and property.What is Emission Tax？ Answer: It is an air pollution law about that the money must be paid by the pollution emitters according to the emission rate, e.g., dollars/(kg pollutant/h). A. Emission StandardDifferent coun

11、try has different emission standard, Why?It depends on the economy, The technology, the living condition , the knowledge and the requirements of people. So it is a Philosophy.

Emission Tax

15、The polluters must pay the emission tax if they do not want to install the pollution control equipment.In this case, the pollutants discharged could possibly cleaned by the natural removal ability. Otherwise the pollution control equipment should be put in to use except bearing the emission tax. How

16、ever, the disadvantages of the emission tax (fee) is obvious. Why? Since this may lead to the managers to have less consideration about the effect on the environment due to the pollutant discharge. D. Cost-Benefit PhilosophyThe air pollution control philosophy is not to eliminate the pollution total

23、 the average value is, therefore, much more reliable (reasonable) in scientific research. There are two cases:(1) An experiment is repeated several timesAverage value:(2) An experiment has been done over some period of timeAverage value4.4 Determining pollutant flow rateThere are two flow rates, mas

Qm=vA, orwhere, v-gas velocity, A-area of the duct, and -the density of the polluted air QV=vA, orExample If the velocity distribution is and the radius of tube is R=0.1m. Please find the volume flow rate in the tube.m/s,434.5 Isokinetic samplingequivalent velocity

25、samplingThe gas velocity inside the sampling probe is equal to the gas velocity in the duct.Why? (Page 73)If the gas velocity is too great in the probe, less particles get into the probe due to the inertial （惯性）effect.If the gas velocity in the probe is slower than the gas velocity in the duct, more

26、 particles get into the probe. Therefore, isokinetic sampling is necessary to reduce the measuring deviation in the experiment.445 Meteorology for Air Pollution Control Engineers5.1 The atmosphere5.2 Horizontal atmosphere motion5.3 vertical motion in the atmosphere5.4 Winds5.5 Temperature inversion5

Otherwise, any parcel of air more dense than the surrounding air will sink by negative buoyancy. Most vertical motions in the atmosphere are caused

31、 by changes in air density. 5.31 Air density changes with temperature and humidityThe density of gas is given by perfect gas lawWhere, Mmolecular weight, Ppressure, Rgas constant, Ttemperature (1) 49ExampleEstimate the change in air density due to 1 increase in temperature for dry air1percent increa

The mol fraction of water vapor at 20 is 0.023RH. And the molecular weight of water is 18.Thus The molecular weight of the air with water vapo

33、r isThe variation of temperature has much more effect than that of the humidity. Therefore, most of the vertical motion of the atmosphere is driven by changes in temperature rather than by changes in humidity.relative humidity515.3.2 Air density change with pressureThe basic equation is The negative

(4)52 Suppose a parcel of air in a invisible flexible balloon moving upward in the atmosphere. The air in the

35、 balloon does not work on its surroundings as it expands. It undergoes a reversible, adiabatic（绝热） process. According to thermodynamics, we have Where CP is the heat capacity of gas at constant pressure.Divided Eq. (4) by Eq. (5) on both sides, we find(5)(6)Here, g=9.81m/s2, M=29g/mol, Where CP =3.5

40、tion law, we should predict the concentrations of contaminants. To plan air pollution control programs or to build up some new projects, we should predict the emission concentrations of the pollutant from the sources. The basis of the concentration models: principle of mass balance.6.2 Fixed-box mod

41、els (箱式模型）Assumptions:1. The pollution area is rectangular with W and L.2. Pollutants are complete mixed up to the mixing height H（混合层）.3. The concentration is uniform in the box due to the turbulence.4. The wind velocity u is constant and uniform .5. No pollutant leaves or enters through the top of

42、 the box, nor through the sides that are parallel to the wind direction. 60Let: the concentration of pollutant in the air entering pollution area is C0 (g/m3), the emission rate per unit area is q (g/sm2).The mass flow rate(质量流量）is:The creation mass flow rate in the pollution area is: yHxWind veloci

43、ty, uzWLThe mass flow rate out of the pollution area is: According to the material (mass) balance theory, we have616.3 diffusion models6.3.1 The Gaussian plume ideaThe pollutant gas comes out as a point source.The coordinates of the point source is 0, 0, H, where H is the effective stack height. Whe

44、re, h is the stack height, h is the plume rising height.The plume appears to have a twisting, snake like shape. However, time averages out the variations of the plume, the shape of the plume appears uniform and symmetrical. The concentration distribution follows the Normal distribution function. 626

From the above table, atmosphere stability C should be selected. Using the fig. 6

48、.7 and fig. 6.8, we find the horizontal dispersion coefficient and vertical dispersion coefficient at a point 0.5km downwind respectively: Then we can use the equation (1) to calculate the concentration at any point of x, y, z. 3. The effect of the ground Equation (1) is a diffusion model in unlimit

49、ed space for the point source, which can be used to predict the concentration approximately in the fume considerably far from the ground. It means that the effect of the ground can be negligible.However, we are often interested in concentrations at the ground level since people and property are expo

50、sed there (living on the ground). But near the ground, because the boundary condition is changed, the concentration distribution will not follow the Equation (1).(1) “reflection wall hypothesis”(反射壁假设） When the plume goes down and touches to the ground surface, the ground looks like a mirror, the po

(2) principle of superposition（叠加原理） The pollutant concentrations from different sources can be added directly. 66In order to know the concentration in the reflection area, suppose there is an image point source symmetrically under the ground. The

53、ground can be found directly from Equation (3)5. the concentration on the ground under the centerline of the plume For this condition, y=0, z=0, therefore, the concentration on the ground under the centerline of the plume is6.4 plume riseWe have known that , Where, h is the stack height, h is the pl

54、ume rising height. The h is determined by : smoke exit velocity from the stack vs, stack diameter D wind speed u, the pressure around the stack P, smoke temperature Ts and the atmosphere temperature Ta. There are many formulae for calculating the plume rising height h. Now we just give the Hollands

55、formula Example (page 143)7 General Ideas in Air Pollution control7.1 AlternativesThree control options are available ( three methods can be made use of to control the air pollution).1. Improve dispersion first option(1) Tall stackFrom Eq.(6), when the stack height h is determined, to increase the s

56、moke exit velocity vs, the difference of the smoke temperature Ts and the atmosphere temperature Ta is the main ways to increase the plume rising height h. The smoke dispersion can be improved. (2) Intermittent control schemes (the plan to control the emission quantity at different time and deferent

57、 place)For instance, in the afternoon, the diffusion ability is stronger, the amount of pollutant discharged could be higher. But in the morning, the amount of pollutant discharge should be reduced due to the temperature inversion.Similarly, Seacontinent wind and mountainvalley wind, and others fact

58、ors should also be considered. 2. Reduce emissions by process change, pollution prevention - second option The idea of reduce emissions by process change means that using the less pollution production techniques to substitute the heavy pollution processes. In this book (page 165), many examples were

59、 given:Painting: water-based paint replaces the oil-based paint to reduce the hydrocarbon emission;Burning: Open burning is substituted by the close burning in incinerator; Traveling: get people from home to workcarpool. Taking buses with others, instate of driving a car individually. Lighting: repl

And so on.The key point is: preventing pollution is much better than control it.3. Use a downstream pollution control device-third option a downstre
