Treatment of Oil in Water Emulsions by Ceramic-Supported Polymeric Membranes
A novel membrane was developed by growing polymer chains from the surface of a porous ceramic support, resulting in a composite membrane which combines the mechanical properties of the...
Modeling of Chemical Inhibition of Nitrification
This work contains two quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) modeling chemical inhibition of nitrification, one for heterocyclic compounds and one for acetylenic materials....
A Probability Based Approach to the Design and Operation of Soil Vapor Extraction Systems
Soil vapor extraction (SVE) or soil venting is related with Monte Carlo simulation of critical soil characteristics. The correlation yielded a probability based nomograph that may be utilized...
Activated Carbon as a Catalyst for Polymerization of Phenolic Compounds
Previous studies by the principal investigator showed that the increase in the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon for phenolic compounds can be attributed to polymerization (oxidative...
A New Set of Equations for Very Shallow Water and Partially Dry Areas Suitable to 2D Numerical Models
When a 2D model is used to compute the flood propagation over an initially dry area some difficulties arise due to the changes in the computational domain as large parts of it are flooded...
Pressure-Time Flow Rate in Low Head Hydro Plants
Very few methods are accepted for measuring the flow in the large intakes typical of low head, run-of-the-river hydro plants. These intakes are characteristically short, non-uniform, non-prismatic,...
Non-Intrusive Experimental Setup for Inflatable Dam Models
A method which allows for a non-intrusive evaluation of the dynamic response of the inflatable dams under overflow and impounding water conditions is presented. The internal pressure variations...
Instrumentation Needs and Possibilities: A Dialogue Between Suppliers and Users
The present symposium includes a panel discussion to address and illuminate needs and possibilities in hydraulic instrumentation. The panel discussion is organized with the intent of promoting...
Stability Analysis of Rayleigh-Benard Convection in the Presence of Side Walls
The onset of laminar axisymmetric Rayleigh-Benard convection is investigated for a low-Prandtl number liquid metal in a cylindrical container, in the presence of a vertical temperature...
Influence of a Sand Layer on Headcut Advance
The presence of an erodible material layer in the soil profile has been observed to influence headcut movement in earth emergency spillways. Large-scale flume tests were conducted to examine...
A Lagrangian Model for Surface Buoyant Jets
A model is developed to predict the trajectory of a surface buoyant discharge into a large receiving water body. A Lagrangian approach is used to trace the path of a `control volume' of...
Chezy Formula Versus Theory and Common Sense
Using the theoretical concepts of the uniform flow formula and the inverse solution of the Chezy equation it is shown that a channel shape may have considerable influence on the value...
Size Characteristics of Debris Flow Deposition
The size distribution of debris flow deposition is extremely wide which may contain nearly all particles from clay and colloid to boulder. Particle size and composition have very important...
An Approach to the Calculation Method of Mean Sediment Size
Mean sediment size is an important parameter expressing the characteristics of sediment. Several calculation methods of mean sediment size which are popular at present almost have some...
Analysis of Sand Movement on Noto Coast by Geochemical Method
The analysis of sand samples by X - ray fluorescent spectroscopy (abbreviated by XRF) gives the ratio of the geochemical elements to construct the sand samples. This shows the geochemical...
Sediment Transport in Sewers and Design Implications
Extended studies on sediment transport in sewers were conducted at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and using this new as well as previously available data an attempt has been made...
Plunge-Pool Scour by Inclined Jets
A series of experiments were performed in a sand-bed plunge pool with circular jets produced by nozzles at different angles and elevations and conveying different flow discharges. The...
High Level Radioactive Waste Management 1994
The proceedings of the fifth International Conference on High Level Radioactive Waste Management, held on May 22-26, 1994, Las Vegas, Nevada, continues a concerted effort to transfer technology...
Predicted and Measured Behavior of Five Spread Footings on Sand
This publication contains the results of a full scale load testing program used to predict and measure the bahavior of five spread footings on sand. These results were presented at the...
