Compare the models of diffusion out of sediments with and without mass transfer resistances at the sediment water interface to a water column at 0 concentration. Assume the concentration of the sediment is initially uniform at 50 mg/kg for both phenanthrene and benzo[a]pyrene. (assume a soil porosity of 0.3 and foc of 0.10). Consider kwf from 0.1 cm/hr, 1 cm/hr and 10 cm/hr. Plot flux versus time from the sediments with and without the mass transfer coefficient for the various cases.

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
