Distribution Parameter Concentration of Alkalinity and Total Hardness in Stagnant Water Environment: The Concepts of Oil and Gas Emission Influence
Abstract
Model for predicting the distribution parameter concentration of alkalinity and total hardness in stagnant water
environment upon the influence of oil and gasemission was investigated in this work. The model was formulated
from the basic principle of mass and momentum concept which was resolved to obtain an ordinary differential equation. A mathematical tool known as the least square method was applied to resolve the differential equation to obtain quadratic equation based on the distribution parameter concentration of alkalinity and total hardness in stagnant water environment. Experimental data obtained from the analysis were fitted into the model to obtain their diffusivities and velocities of the parameters upon the influence of contaminants. Concentrations of the contaminants at the various depths were simulated and the polynomial of the curve was also established to ascertain the validity of the developed model. Simulated results from the model were compared analytically and graphically with the experimental and validated result as presented in the work. The results obtained show a reasonable level of agreement which is an indication of the reliability of the developed model for predicting the distribution parameter concentration of alkalinity and total hardness in stagnant water environment.
