Comparison of Near-Field Dilutions Derived from In Situ Measurements and Simulated Dilutions at the Sand Island Sewage Outfall Plume, HI
Near-field dilutions of the Sand Island Treatment Plant (SITP) wastewater plume were derived from salinity measurements made at the sewage outfall between Sept. 25?Oct. 1, 1994, a period...
Development of a Selenium TMDL for the San Joaquin River
The objective of this study is to devise a user-friendly, reliable method to calculate a screening-level 'Total Maximum Daily Load' (TMDL) for the San Joaquin River and similar western...
Products of Chloramination in Dilute Aqueous Solution
Chloride and nitrate formation was determined in the reaction of chlorine with ammonia in molar excess, in dilute aqueous solution. Nitrate was formed under all conditions investigated....
Classification and Prediction of Buoyant Surface Discharges
Past efforts to predict the dilution and geometric characteristics of buoyant surface flows have relied on integral modelling techniques involving the solution of a series of differential...
Siting the New Boston Harbor Outfall: Near-Field Analysis
In the near-field analysis for Boston's proposed Deer Island outfall to Massachusetts Bay, multiple initial dilution calculations were applied to estimate the frequency distribution...
Iona Outfall Plume Characterization Study
Field studies were conducted in August 1988 to verify the performance of the new deep sea outfall for the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) Iona Island Sewerage Treatment Plant...
Technical Issues Related to Emission Releases from Subslab Radon Mitigation Systems
Surveys of government and private sector radon mitigation activities indicate that subslab radon mitigation systems account for more than 50 percent of all installed systems. Such systems...
Tracer Dilution Flow Measurement Application to Short Penstock Length
Absolute performance evaluation of hydro-turbines requires the determination of flowrates. Flow measurement is probably the most difficult aspect of determining a unit's efficiency....
Discharge Measurement by Thermal Dilution
A flume study was conducted to develop and improve the thermal dilution method of discharge measurement in trapezodial channels. The study was performed in an indoor channel with dischages...
Modeling Dilution of Wastewater Outfalls in a Tidal Estuary
Field studies and modeling have been conducted to assess initial dilution of wastewater outfalls in Puget Sound, a fjord-like estuary in the State of Washington. Recent numerical dilution...
Effluent Dispersion Measurements Under Sea Ice
Field measurements of the dispersion of effluent from the Seawater Treatment Plant (STP) at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, were made during April 1985. The primary objective was to determine whether...
Small Canal Discharge Measurement by Thermal Dilution
Thermal dilution is a variation of the indicator dilution flow measurement technique, utilizing heat as the indicator. The measurement is accomplished by performing a heat balance within...
Unsteady Mixing of a Buoyant Jet into a Reservoir
A buoyant effluent was dyed with fluorescent dye on two occasions to determine its mixing characteristics and flow path through a small hydropower reservoir located in south central Arkansas....
