EN4554/CV4554 Air Pollution Control Engineering: Tutorial 1

The document provides 10 tutorial questions on various topics related to air pollution control engineering. The questions cover topics such as calculating collection efficiency for fluoride scrubbers, estimating particulate emissions from coal power plants, converting between different air pollution concentration units, calculating pressure at different altitudes, identifying air quality subindices from PSI values, and calculating gas flow rates and particulate concentrations from samples. The last question asks about definitions of air pollution and implications of the Kyoto Agreement.

Tutorial 1

1. Estimate the collection efficiency required for a fluoride scrubber at a wet-process


phosphoric acid plant that must meet the air pollution control standard of 10.0 g/t of P2O5
feed. Assume that uncontrolled emissions would be about 120 grams of fluorides per
tonne of P2O5 feed.

2. Calculate the daily emissions of particulates from a new 1000 megawatt (MW) coal-fired
power plant that must meet the performance standards of 13.6 mg/million Btu. Assume
the coal has a heating value of 24,000 Btu/kg. The plant is 39% efficient. Determinate
the amount coals to be needed.

3. Exactly 500.00 ml of carbon monoxide (CO) is mixed with 999,500 ml of air. Calculate
the resulting concentration of CO in ppm. Exactly 500.00 ml of CO is mixture with 1,000
m3 of air. Calculate the resulting concentration of CO in ppm.

4. Dry air can be considered to be 78% nitrogen (MW = 28), 21.0% oxygen (MW = 32) and
1.0% argon (MW = 40). Calculate the average molecular weight of air and the density of
air at standard condition (T = 25 oC, P=1 atm).

5. Convert 0.1 parts per million by volume (ppmv) NO2 to µg/m3 at 20 oC and 750
torr. Convert 100 µg/m3 ozone at 25oC and 765 torr to parts per billion by volume
(ppbv).

6, How many µg/m3 is 100 ppb of SO2? Assume the atmospheric temperature and
pressure are 20 oC and 1 atm respectively.

7. Using the –dp/dh = ρg expression, calculate the pressure at 610 meters in the
atmosphere. Where p is pressure, h is the altitude (height), ρ is the density of air, g is
acceleration due to gravity. Assume the temperature change between 0 to 610 meters
is neglectable. Viscosity of air is same along height. Density of air is 1300 g/m3 and
same along height.

8. PSI has been used to identify our day-to-date are quality. If the PSI value is 55 what are
the subindices that contribute to air quality?

9. A sample stream of dry gas being withdraws from a stack. The stack gases are at 200
o
C and 730 mmHg. The stream flows through a heated flitter a set of cool traps (20 oC)
a small air pump and then through a flow meter. The rate of flow s determined to be
30.0 liters/minute at 20 oC and 790 mmHg. (a) Calculate the actual volumetric flow rate
through the flitter at 200 oC and 730 mmHg. (b) If 1.42 mg of sold particles are collected
on the flitter in 30 minutes, calculate the concentration of particles in the stack gas in
µg/m3.

10. What is air pollution? How can we prevent the damaging effects of air pollution? Explain
the implications of the Kyoto Agreement for the greenhouse effects
