Dust Palliative Mean Particle Residence Time Calculator

Previous research efforts at University of Alaska (UAF) have established that dust palliative performance may be compared using a calculation called the mean particle residence time τ (MPRT) [Bar18]. This calculation currently uses an Excel spreadsheet and manual processing of raw data. This makes sharing dust palliative MPRT reports time consuming and prone to error. The study team proposes developing a cloud-based calculator to automate this process to automatically generate the report and share with Alaska Department of Transportation personnel to support continued research with comparative dust palliative studies.
