Temperature drop from a cascade aeration process
Temperature drop from a cascade aeration process
(OP)
I need to calculate the temperature drop in water which starts at one pond at 160 deg F and falls over cascade aeration into a lower pond.. The drop is 8 steps, each 0.8' drop and 2.6' in horizontal length. I know the air temperature and will assume clean water. I need to determine the temperature at the bottom of the cascade, knowing the temperature at the entrance of the cascade. Can't seem to find the right method.
