Model Prediction to Monitor the Transport of Nocardia Influenced by Bulk Density and Dissolved Oxygen in Eleme Stream
Abstract
This paper monitors the behavior of Nocardia deposition in Eleme Streams, the study was carried out to determine the rate of this predominant microbe in the stream, the migration of the contaminant experienced highest rates of concentration at the point of discharge, which is the initial concentration of the contaminants. Decreases with respect to increase in distances at ninety metres in the entire figures were observed. Bulk density and dissolved oxygen were observed to predominantly influenced the rate of Nocardia deposition and migration in the stream, the rate of dissolved oxygen on the stream determined the variation rate of Nocardia deposition in the water body, the condition were similarly experienced on the variation of concentration of density on the stream temperatures in the study environment, both parameters expresses there various rate of influential factors on the transport process of Nocardia deposition in the stream, the developed model were subjected to model validation, and both parameters developed best fit correlation. The study is imperative because the density and dissolved oxygen variation of the solute has been observed, these has been noted as factors that determined the transport rate of the contaminant in the stream.
