Water Quality : Bifurcation Water Quality : Dispatch Methods
Dispatch Methods
* Solve Temp
This dispatch method is available for the Propagate Temperature method. This method simply distributes heat associated with Inflow to the two outflows.
Required Known Slots
• Inflow
• Outflow1
• Inflow Heat
• Outflow2
Required Unknown Slots
• Outflow1 Heat
• Outflow2 Heat
Method Details  
If Inflow is 0, the two outflow heats are zero; otherwise:
(5.1)    
(5.2)    
* Solve Salt
This dispatch method is available for the Propagate Salt method. This method simply distributes salt associated with Inflow to the two outflows.
Required Known Slots
• Inflow
• Outflow1
• Inflow Salt Concentration
• Outflow2
Required Unknown Slots
• Outflow1 Salt Concentration
• Outflow2 Salt Concentration
Method Details  
If Inflow is 0, the two outflow salt masses are zero; otherwise:
(5.3)    
(5.4)    
Outflow1 and Outflow2 Salt Concentrations are set to Inflow Salt Concentration (unless the flow is 0, then the concentration is 0, as well).
* Solve Temp and Salt
This dispatch method is available for the Propagate Temp and Salt method. This method simply distributes heat and salt associated with Inflow to the two outflows.
Required Known Slots
• Inflow
• Outflow1
• Inflow Heat
• Outflow2
• Inflow Salt Concentration
Required Unknown Slots
• Outflow1 Heat
• Outflow2 Heat
• Outflow1 Salt Concentration
• Outflow2 Salt Concentration
Method Details  
If Inflow is 0, the two outflow heats and salt masses are zero; otherwise:
(5.5)    
(5.6)    
(5.7)    
(5.8)    
Outflow1 and Outflow2 Salt Concentrations are set to Inflow Salt Concentration (unless the flow is 0, then the concentration is 0, as well).
* Solve Temp and DO
This dispatch method is available for the Propagate Temp and DO method. This method simply distributes heat and DO masses associated with Inflow to the two outflows.
Required Known Slots
• Inflow
• Inflow Dissolved Oxygen Mass
• Inflow Ammonia Mass
• Inflow Heat
• Inflow Detritus Mass
• Outflow1
• Inflow Dissolved Organics Mass
• Outflow2
Required Unknown Slots
• Outflow1 Detritus Mass
• Outflow2 Detritus Mass
• Outflow1 Heat
• Outflow2 Heat
• Outflow1 Ammonia Mass
• Outflow2 Ammonia Mass
• Outflow1 Dissolved Organics Mass
• Outflow2 Dissolved Organics Mass
• Outflow1 Dissolved Oxygen Mass
• Outflow2 Dissolved Oxygen Mass
Method Details  
If Inflow is 0, the two outflow heats and DO masses are zero; otherwise:
(5.9)    
(5.10)    
(5.11)    
(5.12)    
(5.13)    
(5.14)    
(5.15)    
(5.16)    
(5.17)    
(5.18)    
* Solve Temp Salt and DO
This dispatch method is available for the Propagate Temp Salt and DO method. This method simply distributes heat, salt, and DO masses associated with Inflow to the two outflows.
Required Known Slots
• Inflow
• Inflow Heat
• Inflow Ammonia Mass
• Inflow Salt Concentration
• Inflow Dissolved Oxygen Mass
• Outflow1
• Inflow Detritus Mass
• Outflow2
• Inflow Dissolved Organics Mass
Required Unknown Slots
• Outflow1 Ammonia Mass
• Outflow2 Ammonia Mass
• Outflow1 Detritus Mass
• Outflow2 Detritus Mass
• Outflow1 Dissolved Organics Mass
• Outflow2 Dissolved Organics Mass
• Outflow1 Dissolved Oxygen Mass
• Outflow2 Dissolved Oxygen Mass
• Outflow1 Heat
• Outflow2 Heat
• Outflow1 Salt Concentration
• Outflow2 Salt Concentration
Method Details  
If Inflow is 0, the two outflow heats, salt mass, and DO masses are zero; otherwise:
(5.19)    
(5.20)    
(5.21)    
(5.22)    
(5.23)    
(5.24)    
(5.25)    
(5.26)    
(5.27)    
(5.28)    
(5.29)    
(5.30)    
Outflow1 and Outflow2 Salt Concentrations are set to Inflow Salt Concentration (unless the flow is 0, then the concentration is 0, as well).
