title: Equilibrium temperature in aerated basins--comparison of two prediction models.
abstract: This note presents and compares two models to predict the equilibrium temperature in aerated basins. They differ by their degree of complexity and therefore by the input data they require. Both models were able to estimate the temperature of an industrial aerated lagoon, the more complex model giving, in addition, a complete breakdown of the heat exchanges.
