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...
Make-up and Blowdown of a Cooling Pond
A mathematical model was developed to simulate the operation of a recirculating cooling pond for a planned nuclear power plant in the Midwest. The objective of the pond operation is to...
Constitutive Theories for Solids with Defective Microstructure
The nonlinear mechanical response of solids is a macroscopic manifestation of the irreversible changes in its microstructure. The most common modes of the irreversible microstructural...
A Case Study in Low-Level Radioactive Waste Storage
Capital funds have been appropriated for the design, engineering, and construction of an interim low-level radioactive waste storage facility. This project is currently in the preliminary...
Dredging in a Stratified Estuary
Grays Harbor is a moderately stratified estuary on the Washington coast. During the summer of 1983, while hopper dredges worked the upper reaches of the estuary, extensive water quality...
High Sediment Concentrations Require High In-Channel/Supply of Sediment
Flows with high sediment concentrations (greater than 10 percent by weight) most commonly occur either as debris flows in steep channels throughout the world, or as hyperconcentrated flows...
Milwaukee Sewerage District Interplant Pipeline
The pipeline is intended to transfer solids between the Jones Island and South Shore treatment works a distance of approximately 12 miles (19. 3 km). The 4 conduit pipeline comprising...
Cavitation in Various Types of Shear Flow
Cavitation in turbulent shear flow depends on the intensity and spectral characteristics of the pressure fluctuations in a Lagrangian frame of reference as well as depending on the concentration...
Saline Water Disposal from a Coal Bed Methane Recovery Well Field
A conceptual engineering approach for low cost management of production water from coal bed methane recovery wells is presented. The approach is applicable for production water that contains...
Hannibal Hydroelectric Project Ecological Concerns
In January, 1983 the City of New Martinsville, West Virginia filed a license application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to construct and operate a 34 MW hydroelectric...
A Standard for the Measurement of Oxygen Transfer in Clean Water
This standard was developed to measure the rate of oxygen transfer from diffused gas and mechanical oxygenation devices to water. The standard is applicable to laboratory scale oxygenation...
Arresting a Toxic Plume
At an abandoned gravel pit in New Hampshire turned into a dump site for hazardous liquid chemical wastes (as well as drummed solid waste), engineers had to race against the clock to stem...
Solid Waste Research and Development Needs for Emerging Coal Technologies
The workshop was organized into three topical areas: (1)Solid Waste Characterization; (2)reuse, recycle, utilization; and (3)environmental effects: system design, monitoring, disposal....
Engineering Mechanics
The Third ASCE/EMD Specialty Conference is sponsored by ASCE with the Departments of Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. The theme of the conference is...
Symposium on Reaeration Research
Proceedings of the Hydraulics Division Specialty Conference, held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, October 28-30, 1975. Sponsored by the Hydraulics Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers....
Environmental Engineering
The topics covered are: Wastewater reclamation in the western United States; Appropriate technology for the disposal of wastewater in rural areas; Management and reclamation of solid wastes;...
European Water Treatment Practices�� Their Experience with Ozone
Today, more than 1100 water treatment plants worldwide use ozone for some purpose. In Europe, it is always regarded as a water-treatment technique and seldom simply as a disinfectant....
Geotechnical Practice for Disposal of Solid Waste Materials
The papers for this conference are grouped under the themes of four of the general sessions: 1) Geotechnical properties affecting disposal and utilization; 2) utilization in dams, embankments,...
Land Application of Residual Materials
