Undergraduate Faculty Seminar: Hazardous Waste Incineration

很少有实践工程师和科学家、教师或学生对危险废物焚烧的基础知识和最新知识有实际的了解。这次研讨会的目的是开设一门关于危险废物焚烧的课程并编写一本问题手册，以满足这一需要并解决这一技术差距。课程材料将主要取自Theodore和Reynolds 1987年Wiley- Interscience出版的《危险废物焚烧导论》。工作簿中的问题和解决方案将由工程和应用科学教师组成的跨学科团队生成。主题包括：法规考虑、化学计量学和热化学计算、焚化炉设计、辅助设备、分散计算、计算机软件应用和设施设计。问题练习册的初稿将在1988年为期两周的夏季研讨会期间编写。1988-89学年将为课堂测试练习册中问题的有效性提供机会。还计划在1989年6月下旬举行为期三天的后续夏季会议，以便有机会修订、增订和编辑工作手册，并最后确定制作和分发计划，以便在本科工程和应用科学课程中实施。除了国家科学基金会的资金外，参与者所在机构还将为项目的运营提供大约10%的旅费。获资助机构将提供另外20%的资金用于项目的运作。

Few practicing engineers and scientists, faculty, or students have a working understanding of the fundamentals and state-or-the-art knowledge of hazardous waste incineration. The objective of this seminar is to present a course and develop a problem workbook on hazardous waste incineration to address this need and resolve this technology gap. The course material will be drawn primarily from Theodore and Reynolds' 1987 Wiley- Interscience book "Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration." Problems and solutions in the workbook will be generated by an interdisciplinary team of engineering and applied science faculty. Topics include: regulatory considerations, stoichiometric and thermochemical calculations, incinerator design, ancillary equipment, dispersion calculations, computer software applications, and facilities design. The first draft of the problem workbook will be prepared during a two week summer seminar session in 1988. The 1988-89 academic year will provide an opportunity to classroom-test the effectiveness of the problems in the workbook. A three-day follow-up summer session in late June of 1989 is also scheduled to provide an opportunity to revise, update, and edit, the workbook, and finalize production and distribution plans for implementation in undergraduate engineering and applied science curricula. In addition to the NSF funds, participants' institutions will contribute about 10% in travel costs to the operation of the project. The grantee institution will provide another 20% toward the operation of the project.
