Introduction to Air-Water Mass Transfer
Background is presented to assist individuals in comprehending the terminology, in understanding the need to know the rate of air-water mass transfer, and the historical theories of air-water...
Evaporation and Snowmelt Estimates from Satellite Data
Satellite imagery has been used to estimate saltwater evaporation and snowmelt runoff. Water surface temperatures can be obtained from satellite thermal infrared data. Saltwater evaporation...
A Semi-Empirical Model for an OC-OTEC Spout Flash Evaporator
A phenomenological model for the thermal-hydraulics of a spout flash evaporator is presented in this paper. The model considers the two-phase flow behavior both in the spout and in the...
Evapotranspiration and Irrigation Water Requirements
This manual,
Retention of the First Inch of Runoff in Coastal Areas
More and more state agencies are requiring development to retain the first inch of runoff from impervious coverage and release this runoff only through evaporation and/or infiltration....
A Flood in the Desert
Since 1982 the Great Salt Lake has risen from an elevation of 4,200 ft above mean sea level to a historic high of 4,211.85 ft in June 1986. The sharp rise in the lake has caused considerable...
Simple Removal and Recovery of Irrigation Drainage Salts
This paper reports on preliminary tests of an alternative for simple removal and recovery of irrigation drainage salt. Using a novel system for evaporating waters from capillary surfaces,...
Geothermal Salt Recovery From Evaporating Ponds
The water from geothermal reservoir 'Los Azufres' in Michoacan, Mexico, is characterized by its high content of chloride, silica, borum and arsenic. Due to the...
Application of Water Budget to Seepage Loss Estimation
The seepage loss for the emergency cooling water spray pond has been calculated by performing a water balance study for the pond. A field test of the spray pond was performed to estimate...
Simulation of Evaporation Ponds for Liquid Waste Disposal
A computer model for designing and simulation of evaporation ponds is developed. It is based on the principle of mass conservation for water, for the total dissolved solids (TDS), and...
Evapoconsolidation in Fine-grained Material
The increased difficulty of obtaining land needed for confined disposal of dredged material and phosphatic clays highlights the need to assess alternative disposal measures by accurately...
New Evapotranspiration Process: Key to Zero Discharge for Electroplaters
The electroplating process and methods of handling electroplating wastes at the Naval Air Rework Facility in Pensacola, Florida are described. In the past, evapotranspiration as a treatment...
