Resulting formula:
σ Ts4 =
3Ω(1-a)/4 – [Fc + 1.5Fe +1.7Fs + 2Fw]
Fc = 17 w/m2 (convective
heat flow)
Fe = 80 w/m2 (latent
heat)
Fs = 86 w/m2 (absorbed
in atm)
Fw = 20 w/m2 (radiated
to space)
Ts = temperature of the surface
To = first, lower layer
T1 = second, higher layer
The 2 is the two-layer system
The 3 is n layers + 1
Empirically we know that this energy gets
dumped in the lower troposphere. Most
of the water is in the lower atmosphere.

Fin
(p) = pollutant flow, mass/time
Fin
(water) = water flow, mass/time
Concentration
in lake is Mp/Mwater
dM(water)/dt
= 0; Fin (water) = Fout (water)
twater = Mwater/Fin,water
t(p) = Mp/Fout,p
(only applies when Fin, p = Fout, p)
Proceed,
assuming Steady-state
Fout,
p = Mp/Mw*(Fout, w)
In
other words, Fout, p = concentration * total outflow
tp = Mp/[Mp/Mw * (Fout,w)] =
Mw/Fout, w = twater (only applies at steady
state.
Additionally,
if Et applied, tp would be > twater
dMp/dt
= Fin, p – Mp/Mw * (Fout, w)
Of
the general form, dx/dt = a –bx; a linear, donor-controlled equation.

Mp(t)
= Mp(0) + [twater*Fin,p –
Mp(0)][1-e-t/twater]
tà0, Mp(0) = Mp(0) + [twater * Fp,in –Mp(0)]*[0]
tà¥, Mp(¥)
= Mp(0) + [twater * Fp,in –Mp(0)]*[1]
Mp(¥)
= twater * Fp,in (this only applies
when there is no evaporative loss of water and tp = twater)
In
general at SS, Mp(¥) = tp*Fp,in
Another
approach for steady state situations,
dMp/dt
= Fin, p – Mp/twater
0 =
Fin, p – Mp/twater
Mp =
Fin, p * twater, essentially applies because
we know tp = twater
