(mean velocity equation) The purpose of the currently accepted equations by Hemeon and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) is to estimate the plume volumetric flow (Q) [The volumetric flow above a heated source is defined as the product of the plume mean velocity and area (ACGIH, 1998; Hemeon, 1999).] at which heat and fine particle effluents are being introduced to the face of the engineering control (i.e. receiving hood). Determining the plume flow is of critical interest for two reasons: (1) it must provide adequate control of the effluent to prevent spillage back into the workplace air; (2) it should be calculated as accurately as possible to prevent overventilating the process, as this wastes conditioned indoor air. Accuracy of the flow estimation is important, as results from a laboratory study to determine the accuracy of Hemeon's flow equation indicated that this equation overestimates the flow above heated sources leading to excess process ventilation (Siebert and Fraser, 1973). source: JOHN L.
