| Popis: | Although considerable effort has been devoted to the development of air pollution models, little has been done to incorporate natural mechanisms capable of removing pollutants from the atmosphere. One important process is the uptake of atmospheric pollutants by water bodies. In this paper, a calculational scheme to quantify this transport process is presented. In particular, two models characterizing wind induced turbulence in a water body are invoked to estimate the liquid phase mass transfer coefficient. A priori specification of parameters yielded predictions well within an order of magnitude of experimental evidence in both the laboratory and the field. |
