Deformations About Excavations in Highly Stressed Rock
The central business district of Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), is dominated by the Hawkesbury Sandstone, a Triassic sedimentary formation. Measurements have confirmed the existence of...
A Coupled Mass Transfer and Surface Complexation Model for Uranium (VI) Removal from Wastewaters
A remediation technique has been developed for removing uranium (VI) from complex contaminated groundwater using flake chitin as a biosorbent in batch and continuous flow configurations....
Quantification of the Mechanisms Controlling the Removal Rate of Volatile Contaminants by Air Sparging
Air sparging is a technology for removing dissolved and volatile phase chemicals (VOCs) from the saturated zone. It is used in conjunction with soil vapor extraction (SVE) and sometimes...
Effect of Roughness and Thickness of Biofilms on External Mass Transfer Resistance
The effect of roughness and thickness of biofilms on the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration boundary layer thickness (DO CBLT) and the external mass transfer process in a biofilm system...
Computer Aided Design of Trickling Filters
Development of a Model for the ABF/AS Process
A modelling approach has been established for the activated biofiltration/activated sludge (ABF/AS) process. This approach indicates that ABF/AS systems can be considered as a variation...
Modeling Full-Scale Diffused Aeration Systems
The purpose of this research was to show the direct relationship of the oxygen mass transfer coefficient (KLaT)...
Macro-Roughness Effects on Stream Reaeration
The gas transfer coefficient is key to modeling dissolved oxygen levels in streams. Engineers commonly predict it as a function of mean flow depth, velocity, and slope. Large errors are...

High-Resolution Upwind Schemes for Solving Mass Transport Equation
A fractional-step algorithm is employed to solve the mass transport equation by decomposing the advection-dispersion equation into two portions, pure advection and pure dispersion. High-resolution...
Impact of GOES Data on Surface Heat Flux Predictions
Surface heat flux is the required input for the Great Lakes Forecasting System (GLFS) in order to predict three dimensional temperature structure of the Great Lakes. Since the flux is...
Modeling of Biofiltration of Natural Organic Matter in Drinking Water Treatment
A multi-substrate model of the biofiltration of natural organic matter in drinking water was developed and successfully applied. This model assumes that biofiltration is a two-step process...
Computer simulation of pulsed pumping for remediation under mass transfer limited conditions
The article presents the computer simulation of choosing the right time periods for interruption and pumping in the pulsed pumping process. It will calculate a set of criteria under mass...
Analysis of Biomass Distribution and Chemical Interactions in Nitrifying Biofilms
Steady-state models of nitrifying biofilms are developed taking into account the mass transfer of neutral and ionic species, electroneutrality, pH-dependent Monod kinetics, chemical equilibrium,...
