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.

Ω/4 = 343 w/m2

a = 0.3

p166

 

W + W/4 = a(W/4 ) + sTo4 + Fw

2sTo4 = sT14 + 0.5Fe + 0.7Fs

2sT14  =  sTo4 + sTs4 – Fw + Fc + 0.5Fe + 0.3Fs + W

 

sTo4 = 220.1 W/m2; To = 249.6 K

sT14  = 340 W/m2; T1 = 278.3 K

sTs4 = 397.1 W/m2; Ts = 289.3 K

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

General equation

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


 

 

 


Example of Carbonate System

Assumes unlimited supply of CaCO3

p(CO2) = 370 ppm(v)

[H2CO3] = p(CO2)10-1.47           @ p(CO2) of 370,


                                                 [H2CO3] = 10-4.90­­

[H+][HCO-] = 10-6.35[H2CO3]                  [HCO-] = (10-6.35[H2CO3])/[H+]

                                 [HCO-] = 10-11.25/[H+]

[H+][CO3­­2-­­]  = 10-10.33[HCO3-]                  [CO3-] = (10-10.33[HCO3-])/[H+]

                                 [CO3-] = 10-21.6/[H+]2

[H+][OH-] = 10-14       [OH-] = 10-14/[H+]

                                 [OH-] = 10-14/[H+]

[Ca+2][CO3-2] = 10-8.42                              [Ca+2] = 10-8.42/[CO3-2]

                                 [Ca+2] = 10-8.42/(10-21.6/[H+]2)

                                         [Ca+2] = 1013.18[H+]2

Full Carbonate System equation

[H+] + 2[Ca+2]                = [OH-]         +  2[CO3-]              +    [HCO-]

[H+]  + 2(1013.18/[H+]2)   = 10-14/[H+]  +  2(10-21.6/[H+]2)   +   10-11.25/[H+]

Remember[HCO-] ~ [H2CO3]   at a pH of 6.35

[CO3­­2-­­]  ~ [HCO3-]    at a pH of 10.33

 

Trick for Acid Dissociation

Add 0.1 g H2SO4 to 1 L water   pK=-log10K, K=10-pK

0.001 M


If -log10[acid] > pK of that reaction, then full dissociation.

1.          –log[0.001] > -log[103]

2.          3 > -3 fully dissociates and goes into second

3.          –log[0.001] > -log[101.7]

4.          3 > 1.7, also fully dissociates

5.          pH = -log10[H+] = 0.002 à pH = 2.7

ALK = [HCO3-] + 2[CO3-2] + [OH-] – [H+] OR

2[Ca+2] + 2[Mg+2] + [Na+] + [K+] – 2[SO4-] – [NO3-]

for pH range of 6-8, [ALK] » [HCO3-]
