CH3
OH, CH3
CH2
OH, CH2

Where:
X designates the pollutant (e.g., HC), DX is the concentration of pollutant X (ppm or ppmC) on a dry basis, MWX

/hr) on a dry basis, WX is the concentration of pollutant X (ppm or ppmC) on a wet basis, WVol is the total exhaust flow rate (ft3

/hr) on a dry basis; or

(iii) Calculation of individual pollutant masses. Calculations for mass emission are shown here in multiple forms. One set of equations is used when sample is analyzed dry (equations where the concentrations are expressed as DX), and the other set is used when the sample is analyzed wet (equations where the concentrations are expressed as WX). When samples are analyzed for some constituents dry and for some constituents wet, the wet concentrations must be converted to dry concentrations, and the equations for dry concentrations used. Also, the equations for HC, NMHC, CO, and NOX
have multiple forms that are algebraically equivalent: An explicit form that requires intermediate calculation of Vm
and DVol or WVol; and an implicit form that uses only the concentrations (e.g., DCO) and the mass flow rate of the fuel. For these calculations, either form may be used.

(
1) Hydrocarbons. (

Where:
WX is the concentration of species X on a wet basis.
DX is the concentration of species X on a dry basis.
KW
is a conversion factor=WVol/DVol=1 + DH2O.
(A) Iterative calculation of conversion factor. The conversion factor KW
is calculated from the fractional volume of water in the exhaust on a dry basis (DH2O=volume of water in exhaust/dry volume of exhaust). Precise calculation of the conversion factor KW
must be done by iteration, since it requires the dry concentration of HC, but HC emissions are measured wet.
(
1) The conversion factor is calculated by first assuming DHC=WHC to calculate DVol:
(
2
) This estimate is then used in the following equations to calculate DVolair, then DH2O, then KW, which allows DHC to be determined more accurately from WHC:
Where:
Y=Water volume concentration in intake air, volume fraction (dry).
DVolair
=Air intake flow rate (ft3
/hr) on a dry basis, measured, or calculated as:
(
3
) The calculations are repeated using this estimate of DHC. If the new estimate for KW
is not within one percent of the previous estimate, the iteration is repeated until the difference in KW
between iterations is less than one percent.
(B) Alternate calculation of DH2O (approximation). The following approximation may be used for DH2O instead of the calculation in paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(A) of this section:
Where:
Y=Water volume concentration in intake air, volume fraction (dry).
