ME 537 Air Pollution and Control
A practical, comprehensive course for students interested in energy systems and environmental engineering. It discusses the cause, source, and effect of various primary pollutants, such as particulates, SOx, NOx, CO, VOCs, solid waste, and nuclear waste, and secondary pollutants such as photochemical smog, 03-depleting chemicals, acid gases, and greenhouse gases, from stationary and mobile energy systems. Discussions also include the working principle, performance characteristics, and method of analysis of engineering control equipment and processes for the above pollutants. This course emphasizes the design approach to pollution problems from an applied engineering viewpoint. Open-ended design problems will be assigned and a field trip to a local power plant will be arranged.
