Application Of Ce-Qual-W2: Wachusett Reservoir Contaminant Spill Modeling, William Yan
Application Of Ce-Qual-W2: Wachusett Reservoir Contaminant Spill Modeling, William Yan
Environmental & Water Resources Engineering Masters Projects
This research was done to investigate the fate and transport of a simulated contaminant spill into Wachusett Reservoir using the CE-QUAL-W2 model. The reservoir is located in central Massachusetts (north east of Worcester) and was first filled in 1908. The Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA) uses the reservoir as a primary source of drinking water for the metropolitan Boston area. The 65-billion-gallon reservoir is replenished by 9 tributaries and also supplemented by the transfer of water from Quabbin Reservoir (412 billion-gallon capacity) through the Quabbin Aqueduct. This transfer is used to meet system water demands, manage the water surface elevation …
Determination Of The Rate Constant For Reaction Of Ozone With 1-Hexene In Water, Pranav Mashankar
Determination Of The Rate Constant For Reaction Of Ozone With 1-Hexene In Water, Pranav Mashankar
Environmental & Water Resources Engineering Masters Projects
Low molecular weight aldehydes such as formaldehyde may be formed as disinfection byproducts (DBPs) of ozonation when low molecular weight, aliphatic, alpha olefins are present as contaminants in water. Such alkenes form a small but significant part of crude oil, and would therefore be present in water contaminated with an oil spill. This project studied the kinetics of the reaction between ozone and 1-hexene in water as part of a study to predict the effects of an oil spill on the water quality in the Wachusett reservoir in Massachusetts. The data for the reaction rate constant for the aqueous ozonolysis …
