Abstract |
The problem of stream heating from natural insolation has received increasing attention during the last decade. The purpose of turbidity and bed material studies is related to radiant heat transfer. The problem of turbidity was studied by the analysis of a series of basins in which water of various degrees of turbidity was introduced. The temperature values in these basins were observed for five days under similar weather conditions, each degree of turbidity having two basins to insure that there was not only a check of repeatability during the test period but that daily values were dependable as shown by duplication of the daily results. |
