Abstract


This paper is an attempt to develop a mathematical model and simulation of noise radiation from refineries. Analysis of experimental results of noise radiation from the refining station was explored using Visual Basic Programming language. It was observed that simulated and experimental values to a large extent conform to the conceptualize pollutant migration pattern. Simulation result of the developed model shows that increase in distance from the refining point considerably reduced the radiated noise level. A new model for noise intensity radiating at the threshold of hearing (I0) is reported.
