Volatilization Of Benzene In A River, Eric Dunlop Jan 2013

Volatilization Of Benzene In A River, Eric Dunlop

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two

Benzene is a volatile organic compound: when it contaminates a river, some of the substance will evaporate as it flows through. We examine the volumetric flow rate to find how volatilization affects the concentration levels of benzene as the substance flows through several consecutive sections of a river, using a specific example to illustrate the general method.
