Escape the Atmosphere

In some situations, it is necessary to evacuate air contaminants, either because their uptake is impractical or because the investment is not economically justified. To carry out an evacuation of the gaseous atmosphere, it is necessary to understand certain characteristics:

1. The emitter source.
2. The behavior of the surrounding atmosphere.

Factors Determining Pollutant Dispersion

The factors determining the dispersion of pollutants are:

A) Weather Factors: Temperature and Wind

1. Temperature

This is the most important effect. When an air mass has a higher temperature than the surrounding air mass, it ascends due to lower density. As it rises, this mass expands, reducing its temperature at a rate of approximately -10°C per kilometer.... Continue reading "Atmospheric Pollutant Dispersion Dynamics" »

Prototype Development in System Analysis

In this stage, an iterative method is explained, and the responsibilities of users are highlighted, with the user directly involved in the process. The speed with which the system generates results is essential to maintain momentum on the project, allowing users to assess the application as soon as possible. A professional system for initial prototype construction uses tools such as Fourth Generation Languages, Report Generators, and Display Generators. When developing a prototype, the following components are essential:

• The language for dialogue or conversation between the user and the system
• Screens and formats for data entry
• Essential processing modules
• System Output
