powersim software model

**The work** Please read the information overleaf about the background to the problem. There are decisions to be made concerning the clean up of the Great Lakes. Please study carefully the very simplified support system shown below which will form the basis of your assignment. Concentration of pollutant is defined as the mass of pollutant per km3 of water (i.e. it is measured in gms per km3) **For this work you will need to use ‘powersim’ software…..** 1. Write down the assumptions that need to be made so that this model can be used as a simple prototype for your decision support systems. 10 marks 2. Get data for the model from the Internet (quoting your sources) . Run the model to check the figures in the diagram. What is your estimate for Lake Huron? 15 marks 3. Build a bigger model involving all five great lakes examining the effect of each on each other. Use this to revise your estimates and comment on the results. 15 marks 4. Conduct various investigations (at least three different scenarios ) as to what would happen if all inflow of pollutant did not stop immediately or enters in a non-continuous way. Marks will be awarded for models containing table functions, the PULSE function and the IF .. THEN function. 25 marks 5. Present conclusions and logical exposition. 10 marks 6 Write a short essay (minimum 2 pages in Microsoft Word font size12, Times New Roman ) on how your decision support system developed here could be expended to be more realistic. 25 marks ## Deliverables **Instructions: to the writer/programmer** I need the work produced with (approx) 14 pages (3500 words) in addition to a detailed contents page, page numbered and titled, and a reference/citation list at the back of the work in alphabetical order. The use of the Harvard style referencing/citation system is a must….. Approx <30 sources from academic journals is a must.. the use of books and internet must be used sparingly…… within this <30 The use of times roman numerals is to be used at font 12….. The writer must be proficient in the ‘powersim’ software.. to successfully complete the work involved.. as the questions pertain to adapting and manipulating the software .. then answering the questions at hand….. **given the model and questions above…..** 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
