Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Heat transfer from an industrial area cooling water with an open channel discharge in a sea was studied in laboratory hydraulic model. Temperature variation was measured in the basin at various locations and dispersion of the heat in the sea was observed with several tidal cycles. Experiments were indicated effect of the heat variation at the control point (600 m far from source point that given by the authority) less then 1°C by every flow condition. Path of the heat distribution had same pattern with tidal current.
