An experimental comparison has been made of the behavior of thermal effluents released by two different basic discharge methods. First, a multiple port diffuser, which acts to enhance mixing of the discharge with the receiving, water, was studied. Second, a single jet discharge, which is simpler, but achieves less rapid dispersion and dilution, was investigated for discharge at the surface and submerged. The study consisted of three experimental phases. First, dye tests were conducted and photographs of the dyed, heated discharges were taken to record flow patterns. Second, the temperature field in the receiving stream was measured with thermocouple probes. Third, thermographic color patterns were developed with sheets of liquid crystals, and photographed in color. The results showed that the multiple port diffuser minimized temperature gradients in the receiving stream, but resulted in greater heat storage within the stream. Also, the single jet located at the water surface, tended to maximize temperature gradients, but allowed better heat dissipation to the atmosphere. / Master of Science

Monthly water temperature profile series were taken in a near-shore harbor area of Lake Michigan near a fossil-fueled electric generating facility at Michigan City, Indiana. Profiles were recorded every 6 hours over 24 hours at monthly intervals from June through September, 1970. Zooplankton and macrobenthos were sampled monthly from stations at 2, 3 and 5 m depths in the heated-water discharge area in the harbor.A thermal plume was present during each sampling series. The extent of the plume varied and was capable of charging directions within short periods of time. Maximum recorded temperature in the plume was 28 C, but the maximum difference in temperature between plume and control area was only 4 C.Zooplankton species diversity was similar between experimental and control areas. Higher zooplankton densities were found in the harbor area but did not appear to be plume related. Benthos populations were lower in the experimental area compared to the control area. Any effect of the heated water in the harbor area was complicated due to the probable but unknown influence of water quality from Trail Creek.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
