【 摘 要 】

Generally, a steam power plant is built near the shore in order to obtain water in large volume as a main material in cooling process. It is the case to Jeneponto power plant, where the cooling water is redistributed from its source with different temperature condition. This temperature will disperse in coastal water out of power plant which is driven by tidal current. The aims of this study is to model a hydrodynamic pattern around steam power plant and temperature distribution pattern of cooling water in spring and neap tidal phases. The method used in this study is a 2D-mathematical model of hydrodynamics and heat transport. The result showed the tidal current tends northward during high tide and southward to during low tide. The temperature tends to disperse northward during the high tide and southward during low tide. The southward disperse is more dominant than northward disperse.
