Term
Plume arising is affected
Definition
plume rise, wind speed and direction,satbility to dilution, downward distance and downwind,warm seasons, neg on chart
Term
plume rise
Definition
exit and velocity and mass, bouyancy
Term
buoyancy
Definition
relation of gas mass and temp to surrounding mass
Term
effective stack height
Definition
plume rise + stack height
Term
wind speed and direction
Definition
gas stream direction (where it blows), wind increase with height, wind shear
Term
Dispersion of air polltuion out of a stack
Definition
Stack height and opening, gas velocity nd temp, and flow rate.
Term
Plume behavior
Definition
Looping, coning, fanning, fumigation, lofting
Term
looping
Definition
unstable, rough air dispenses the plume, and can be carridto the ground
Term
coning
Definition
satble vertical temp, overcst skies low wind speeds, neg on chart
Term
fanning
Definition
positive on chart (temp), inversion, rise min, hori spread is small
Term
lofting
Definition
inversion below plume, no mixing
Term
trapping
Definition
inversion below and above stack, neg on chart
