Industrial Ventilation

Working from an engineering approach based on fundamental concepts, it explores the design and function of industrial ventilation systems. Describes a systematic approach to protecting worker health through reducing airborne hazards. The approach is based on first principles and engineering fundamentals and includes, and then goes beyond, the usual empirically based considerations. Problem sets are provided.
