[edit] The EPA method in Accidental release source terms

Regarding your changing of the equation:

  • 0.0035 is simply 0.284 divided by R = 82.05
  • There are a great many people outside of the USA who don't know what a ft2 is ... nor do they know what a lb is. Therefore, it is necessary to use metric units for them.
  • My equation as I wrote it (using all metric units) gives exactly the same answer as the EPA's mixed up units does. Try using:
    • u = 2 m/s (in EPA equation and mine)
    • M = 90 (in EPA equation and mine)
    • A = 100 ft2 (in EPA equation) = 9.294 m2 (in mine)... since 100 ft2 = 9.294 m2
    • P = 400 mmHg (in EPA equation) = 53.33 kPa (in mine) ... since 400 mmHg = 53.33 kPa
    • T = 300 K (in EPA equation and mine)
    • R = 82.05 (in Epa equation and mine)

The EPA equation will give you 15.94 lbs/min and my equation will give you 7.23 kg/min ... which are equivalent to each other.

As I said before, if you'll give me your fax number, I will fax you a copy of the above two calculations and you can see that they give the same answer.

My email address is mbeychok@cox.net and my phone number is 949-718-1360. I will wait to hear from you on the Discussion page of the Accidental release source terms article. Wikipedia only works well when we collaborate rather than simply reverting each other. - mbeychok 16:35, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Astonishing Hypothesis(Cover).jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The Astonishing Hypothesis(Cover).jpg.
