TRS-80 in-stack opacity computer programs: user and programmer manual. Report for April 1982-June 1983

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5897744
The manual describes a microcomputer program written to estimate instack opacity from ducted sources. Input data required to run the program are the particle-size distribution, particle refractive index, mass emission concentration, wavelength of light, particle density, and stack diameter. The particle-size distribution may be entered either as a histogram of particle diameter and fraction-greater-than-stated diameter or as log normal particle size distribution. The program calculates and displays the in-stack opacity. The program is written in the BASIC computer language and is specifically designed for the TRS-80 Model I, II, and IV computers. A moderate effort will be required to convert the programs to the IBM-PC and similar computers.
