“…However, no one has carried out the process following the MPTER algorithm. Gifford [3] developed an alignment chart or nomograph for similar calculations, and Montgomery et al [4] prepared a modified version applicable to emissions from large power plants. The nomographs in these papers were drawn to estimate plume rise and effective emission height from one plot, and then concentration from another.…”

Kimura has been manager of the Emissions Control Unit since 1975. He had responsibility for the design and construction of the IGCC Process Evaluation Facility gas cleanup system, and is responsible for engineering analysis. He holds seven U.S. patents and has written approximately twenty papers on membrane separations and coal gas purification. He earned a B.S.Ch.E. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1964 and a M.S.Ch.E. from Pennsylvania State University in 1967. Daniel P. Smith was appointed Manager, ProcessOperations Unit, at General Electric's CO orate Research & Development Center in 1980 %lowing eight years of managerial responsibility for advanced gas turbine development at G.E. In his present position he directs the operation of the IGCC Process Evaluation Facility and is responsible for engineering system enhancements and modifications. He has authored several papers in the areas of advanced gas turbines, gas turbine fuels, and performance testing and is the holder of one U.S. patent. He receiveda B.

“…The equations of the turbulent kinetic energy (k) and of the dissipation rate of the kinetic energy () associated with the second-order model are defined as follows: (6) (7) with (8) (9) (10) For more information concerning the constants introduced in the different equations see reference [14].…”

“…The model was then upgraded to cover stacks of different elevations and validated with reference to experimental data. The model was finally corrected, in terms of ground level concentrations, with reference to the empirical expression of Montgomery et al [6] together with Briggs' models [2,3].…”

“…He showed that if one assumes emissions are uniformly distributed over a region, then average pollutant concentrations can be predicted from emission/ concentration ratios derived from historic mixing height and wind speed data. There has been other work on simplified air pollution meteorological analysis including the urban models of Hanna 7 and Martin, 8 and the simplified power plant analysis techniques of Montgomery et al 9 Another approach has been to examine "worst-case" meteorology-identify atmospheric conditions which will be associated with maxi-mum concentrations. By assuming atmospheric stagnation as a worst-case, Hinman and Leonard 10 were able to derive concentration/emission ratios which are independent of source location.…”
