Dispersion Models for Waste Stabilization Pond: A Comparative Analysis | Chapter 6 | Advances and Challenges in Science and Technology Vol. 7

 Dispersion number (d) is ultimate basic determinant of measurement in hydraulic shaping of pollution in waste counterweight ponds and its veracity is important to measure the characteristic practice of pollutants in the puddle. Tracer experiments were performed in a workshop channel to determine aggregation of solute and dispersal number for different flows through the channel. Two forms of sample collection were selected: (1) constant-opportunity-variable-distance and (2) neverending-distance-variable–occasion apperoches. Five dispersion models secondhand in the determination of dispersal number in waste stabilization ponds that is to say Levenspiel and smith [1], Liu [2], Polprasert and Bhatarai, Taylor [3] and Agunwamba and Uneke [4] were used to decide the phenomena and distinguished. Model calculations demonstrated that Liu’s model is closest to that of Levenspiel and Smith that is used as standard for tracer aggregation measurement dispersal number in ponds. Lui’s model may before be used for design of new ponds. Agunwamba’s model trails after Liu’s in nearness but overestimates peak aggregation by about 3 times the calculated. It is however better than Levenspiels on account of it is time conditional and cost effective. Unlike Liu’s model, Agunwamba’s model cannot be secondhand in design of new ponds.
