Assignment – 2
The excel spreadsheet model is prepared with following work sheets.
1. Problem Input: The Lake problem has been taken from Nirmalakhandan, N.
Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and Scientists. Boca Raton, Fla.: CRC
Press, 2002.

The input values of Flowrate (Q), Volume of the tank(V), first order decay rate(K),
Alfa value, Time step for calculation(h), Input load flowing into lake (W) were given.
The Tou value and Study state Concentration values were found by the equations.
The value of C is found by Value of previous C + Time Step * dc/dt previous. The
Graph Time VS Concentration is prepared as per the tabulated results.

2. BATCH REACTOR:

Vensim Interface ( The Stock Flow interface) :

The program was performed with initial concentration Co (mg/L), BOD rate Constant k
(/day) Concentration C (mg/L) at any time t. Time t is taken with y shadow variable tool.

The model is completed with equation C = Co*Exp(k*t) i.e., first order equation for
Batch reactor. Since time is a shadow variable an equation was not entered for it.
