- Abstract
- With the Clean Air Acts and increased environmental consciousness, many engineers, consulting companies, planners, and meteorologists find themselves propelled into the work of calculating atmospheric diffusion. Many of these people are not interested in knowning the detailed theoretical derivation of a formula and its complete set of references. All they want to know are the best current formulas for their problems plus a simple physical description of the principles of analysis. This book should be helpful to those who must make such problem-solving calculations of atmospheric diffusion. The book can be used also as a textbook for a one-quarter course at either the upper undergraduate or the graduate level. In fact, the basic outline evolved from a graduate course on atmospheric diffusion taught in the Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Tennessee.
