Temperature distribution due to the release of heated effluents into channel flow / Y.L. Lau. : En36-515/55E-PDF

"Ever increasing demands for energy are resulting in some situations in which water systems receive large quantities of waste heat in restricted localities. Waste heat is often dissipated in rivers or lakes, from which it eventually reaches the atmosphere. The elevated temperatures in the receiving waters are cause for concern and in recognition of this, the Canada Centre for Inland Waters has initiated a research program to assess the effect of the waste heat on the environment. This report examines the mixing of warm water outfalls with the receiving river and proposes a method for computing the temperature distribution downstream. The relative importance of the direct transfer of heat to the atmosphere and the effect of mixing on the river temperature is also examined"--Foreward, p. v.
