delta

A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment, and receiving basin processes that redistribute, sequester, and export that sediment. The size, geometry, and location of the receiving basin also plays an important role in delta evolution. River deltas are important in human civilization, as they are major agricultural production centers and population centers. They can provide coastline defense and can impact drinking water supply. They are also ecologically important, with different species' assemblages depending on their landscape position.

    Intergas 36/30 MWT - Rad Sizing

    Posted this on another forum - but thought I would try here as well: OK - I just completed the heat loss calcs with Stelrad Stars. However I just realised Stars uses a default MWT of 75°C. This can be manually changed which will then re-calculate the figures. I'm not sure what Delta T figure...
