Determination of Biochemical-Oxygen-Demand Parameters.

摘要

The computer program described in this manual determines biochemical-oxygen-demand (BOD) from the results of laboratory tests and determines two parameters of the first-order kinetic model for BOD. By use of the computer program,the parameters may be determined by three different methods: (a) The Thomas method, (b) the least-squares method,or (c) the nonlinear least-squares method. The rate constant parameter is determined in base-10and base-e forms. Options for sample reaeration,sample dilution,immediate BOD,and initial lag are contained in the program.
