Figure 7.10 Lake problem solved with TK Solver <strong>for</strong> an exponentially decaying load.functions <strong>for</strong> solving systems of equations <strong>and</strong>/or stiff ODEs are available inTK Solver.7.5.6 LAKE PROBLEM MODELED IN Extend The lake model can be modeled in Extend as shown in Figure 7.11. Thebasic simulation model shown in Figure 7.11 is built using icons from theExtend library menu. The Input data icon, which can take tabular data, isused in this example to input a partial step shutdown of the waste load as inthe Mathcad ® example. The R<strong>and</strong>om input icon is used to simulate r<strong>and</strong>omvariations of the flow, Q, with a normal distribution of a specified mean <strong>and</strong>st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation. In the example shown, a mean of 100 cfs <strong>and</strong> a st<strong>and</strong>arddeviation of 20 cfs are specified. The three Constant input icons are set up <strong>for</strong>inputting values <strong>for</strong> V, K, <strong>and</strong> the initial concentration in the lake, Co.The Equation icon contains Equation (7.3) as entered by the programmerto calculate <strong>and</strong> return the output as α at the output terminal, using the threeinputs, Q, V, <strong>and</strong> K, fed to the input terminals. Another built-in library routine,Integrate icon, <strong>for</strong> solving the differential equation is used to yield C. In© 2002 by CRC Press LLC
