Fundamentals Of Stack Gas Dispersion is a book devoted to the basic fundamentals of air pollution dispersion modeling of continuous, buoyant pollution plumes from stationary point sources. The first edition was published in 1979. The current fourth edition was published in 2005.

It is notable for including the step-by-step derivation of every equation presented in the book without using any highly advanced mathematics.

Contents

Subjects covered in the book

The subjects covered in the book include atmospheric turbulence and stability classes, buoyant pollution plume rise, Gaussian dispersion modeling, time-averaged concentrations, wind velocity profiles, fumigations, trapped plumes and flare stack plumes. All of the many constraints and assumptions involved in the basic equations are fully explained.

The book includes a good many example calculations. More information, including the complete table of contents, is available on the Internet.[1]

Where the book is used

The book is used in universities, large industrial companies, engineering and construction companies, consulting companies as well as individual consultants, and regulatory agencies in about 60 countries worldwide.[2]
