Flow and transport of Phenol in groundwater using PGWT equation

With the increasing population, one has to depend on the groundwater for domestic, agricultural and industrial requirements. Hence conservation of groundwater in its pure form requires attention. Mismanagement of groundwater along with its deteriorating quality are major concerns in developing count...

description With the increasing population, one has to depend on the groundwater for domestic, agricultural and industrial requirements. Hence conservation of groundwater in its pure form requires attention. Mismanagement of groundwater along with its deteriorating quality are major concerns in developing countries. The objective of this investigation is to understand the occurrence and degree of dissolved contaminants, as well as the rate and direction of contaminant's movement within the groundwater flow system. In this study, a Phenol Groundwater Transport (PGWT) equation is developed with Lagrangian interpolation function using a nine noded rectangular element. PGWT equation is used to determine the unknown concentration of a Phenol in the porous media for the range of concentrations and permeabilities. The equation is validated with the results of developed Physical Aquifer Model (PAM). It is observed that the transport equation of degree ten delivers the accurate concurrence with the physical model when contrasted with lower degrees of polynomial function.
