Configure CAPTEX Release #2


  • Total mass / number of particles released = mass per particle
  • Particle mass contributing to a grid cell is summed over the "sampling" period
  • A particle is a computational particle, it may represent a gas or particle
  • One computational particle represents many billions of pollutant molecules (Avogadro's # 6x1023)
  • Mass of input units = output units: for example g/h to g/m3
  • Units only matter when doing mass to volume conversions
