3.00 Credits
This course will describe the air environment, both for a clean and polluted atmosphere. The sources and effects and expressions of concentration of air pollutants in modern industrialized societies will be covered as well as the means by which governments regulate and manage air quality. Methods to estimate emissions from typical industrial sources for both particles and gaseous, and basic principles of air pollutant measurement and monitoring techniques including new wireless sensor techniques will be discussed. The impact of meteorology on the dispersion and transformation of both primary and secondary air pollutants will be covered and an overview of control equipment for gaseous and particulate air pollutants will be provided

Applications in coal combustion; waste incineration; automobile emissions; and aircraft emissions will be discussed. 1. Overview and fuel properties (3 sessions) 2. Combustion fundamentals (stoichiometry, thermodynamics and flame properties). (7 sessions) 3. Chemical kinetics and formation mechanisms of NOx, HCs and soot. (7 sessions) 4. Liquid fuel combustion. (3 sessions) 5. Solids combustion (coal combustion and different combustion devices) (4 sessions) 6. Gaseous fuel combustion ( 3 sessions) 7. Pollutant formation and destruction in waste incineration. (1 session) 8. Operation and design of internal combustion engines. (2 sessions) Student term project presentations in the final exam period

3.00 Credits
This course deals with industrial sources of air pollution and how these pollutants are regulated and controlled. The requirements for successfully completing the course are to attend the field trips and write a pre-trip and post-trip report on specific industries. The pre-trip report is designed to instruct the class on how a plant of a certain industrial grouping operates and will be given orally before a trip is made. The post-trip report includes an oral presentation and a written report.

Environmental Hydraulics applies fundamental principles (conservation of mass, energy, momentum) to simulate and predict the movement of water and dissolved substances in pressurized pipe networks and in open channel conduits under various hydraulic conditions (steady and unsteady flows; uniform and nonuniform flows; laminar and turbulent flows). The strong link between fluid flow and contaminant transport in the natural and built environment is highlighted.
