Fundamentals of Stack Gas Dispersion

by Milton R. Beychok

This is the most comprehensive book on dispersion modeling of continuous, buoyant air pollution plumes which takes nothing for granted. Every equation is completely derived step-by-step without any complicated or advanced mathematics. Every constraint and assumption is fully explained. The Fourth Edition was published in 2005 and is the latest edition. The subjects covered in the book include atmospheric turbulence and stability classes, buoyant plume rise, Gaussian dispersion calculations and modeling, time-averaged concentrations, wind velocity profiles, fumigations, trapped plumes, flare stack plumes and much more ... with a great many example calculations. **The book has been purchased in 84 countries and is currently available in 233 libraries worldwide.
