Abstract | ||||
In the following research, the phenomena of the thermal pollution fiom the thermal power plant out-fall structure (multi-port difiser) in shallow water rivers was studied. The sets of uni-directional multi-port difisers'were experimentally studied. The different characteristics of the out-fall structure (multi-port difiser), and the different parameters of the flowing water in the river were considered. The study included a derivation of dimensionless curves for the range of river and out-fall structure parameters typical of the prototype river out-fall installations. Also, a general empirical formula, which can be used in designing of the thermal power plant out-fall structure (multi-port diffuser), discharging hot water into shallow river was developed. The validity of the developed formula was tested against two sets of field measurements of a prototype river difiser. The two sets of the measurements represent values of the relative thermal concentration at any section downstream the diffuser, CJC,, for a wide range of hydraulic and diffuser parameters. A good agreement between the field data and the experimental data was found. Also, the analysis showed that the best fit of both the measured data and the corresponding results from the developed formula had the same shape and the same trend. | ||||
