Getting Started

Narration (female voice): If this is your first time taking a SAChE course, please take a few minutes to explore the interface. This slide will explain how to use the controls to navigate through the course. All of the units in the course use the same interface. This interface has four main features that you should be aware of:

? Here is the left navigation bar. It contains a list of the slides as well as the narrative transcript. At any point in the course, if you would like to revisit any content, click the slide title to jump back.

? You may also use the Previous button on the bottom of the player. To advance forward, use the Next button.

? The Search feature allows you to search for content using any word in the current unit. ? On the top menu bar you will find the Help, Abbreviations, Glossary, Resources and Exit

options. The resources included in this course include any unit-specific attachment as Copyright ?American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.

About This Training Program

Narration (male voice): Welcome to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' online Process Safety training program. This course will introduce you to atmospheric dispersion. It's divided into three units:

? Unit 1 ? Introduction to Atmospheric Dispersion; ? Unit 2 ? Characterizing the Atmosphere, the Release Conditions, and the Important

Properties of the Chemical Released; and ? Unit 3 ? Atmospheric Dispersion Models. Each unit takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete. At the end of each unit, you will be presented with a quiz. You must pass the quiz in order to have the unit marked as complete so be sure to pay close attention to the content and answer all of the review questions along the way. After completing all of the units in the course, you will take a final exam. You must pass the exam to have the course marked as completed.

Objectives

Narration (male voice): This is the first of three units in the Atmospheric Dispersion course. By the end of this unit, titled "Introduction to Atmospheric Dispersion," you will be able to:

? Define "atmospheric dispersion;" ? Explain why atmospheric dispersion models are useful; and ? Identify how atmospheric dispersion is related to familiar topics in chemical engineering

(such as fluid flow, heat transfer, and influence of turbulence on mixing).
