New Experimental Results on the Parameters Influencing Air-Sea Gas Exchange
Gas exchange experiments from large linear and circular facilities are presented which provide some more insight into the influence of waves on the gas exchange process. The experimental...
Parameterization of Air-Ocean Gas Transfer
A renewal-type model, based on the physics of a molecular sublayer, allows the derivation of parameters to describe air-ocean gas transfer and the temperature difference across the cold...
Oxygen Transfer in Full Lift Hypolimnetic Aeration Systems
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effect of diffuser depth, diffuser orifice diameter and separator box surface area on oxygen transfer (mg/L), daily oxygen load (kg...
Sidestream Elevated Pool Aeration Station Design
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) is constructing a system of five Sidestream Elevated Pool Aeration (SEPA) stations along the 35.8 mile Calumet River,...
Mechanical Aeration System Design for Reservoir Tailwater Enhancement
Low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in tailraces below hydropower facilities has been identified as a problem at some projects during nongeneration periods. One technique which may...
Field Tests on a Bubbleless Membrane Aerator
A novel bubbleless hollow fiber membrane aerator has been developed and tested for the oxygenation of water. In this process pure oxygen is maintained on the inside of a bundle of sealed,...
Experiment on the Efficiency of an Aspirator-Blower Type Aerator
An aspirator-blower type aerator was designed and tested successfully for small lake application. The experiment showed that significant amount of air flow can be generated by the aspirator...
Theoretical Investigation of Oxygenating Bubble Plumes
Rehabilitation of lakes by oxygenation with air or oxygen plumes has been proven to be biologically feasible. Oxygenating plumes are released from areal sources and the gases are absorbed...
Water Surface Flow and Exchange Induced by a Bubble Plume
Aeration is a common method to increase dissolved oxygen in the water of stratified (or non-stratified) lakes. In this method compressed air is injected at some depth, and gas is transferred...
The Use of a Deep Shaft for the Waste Water Treatment Plant of Orgamol SA
The first version of a new deep aeration system has been built for Orgamol SA, a chemical plant in the Rhone valley, Switzerland. Construction, operation and oxygen transfer mode of the...
Oxygen Mass Transfer to Flowing Ground Water Using Oxygen Microbubbles
Mass balance and transfer of oxygen has been studied from oxygen microbubbles to low dissolved oxygen ground water passing through variously configured pilot scale vertical slice test...
Steady Turbulent Gas Desorption in Surface Condenser Tubes
A one-dimensional steady two-phase separated flow model in conjunction with the energy and mass transfer equations and an associated turbulent mass transfer coefficient model are utilized...
Designing Better Hollow Fibre Contactors
In this paper we calculate optimum hollow fibre module designs for gas absorption by maximizing the mass transferred per unit cost. Two costs are considered; the membrane cost and the...
Joint Spacing for Airfield Pavement
This paper looks at various factors affecting portland cement concrete(PCC) pavement cracking, with special emphasis on the effect of joint spacing on crack development. A rational approach...
Performance of Airport PCC Pavements During Spring Thaw Periods
The portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements at two Wisconsin airports, Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, and Outagamie County Airport in Appleton, were monitored during spring thaw...
Air-Water Mass Transfer
This monograph, Air-Water Mass Transfer: Selected Papers from the Second International Symposium on Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces, consists of papers presented at the Symposium which...
Mass-Transfer Analysis of Waste Packages Containing Defense Waste Processing Facility Glass as a Waste Form
The fractional release rates of selected radionuclides from waste packages containing Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) glass are calculated using the AREST code, assuming a continuous-diffusive...
Simulation of Heat Transfer in the Unsaturated Zone
It is well known that heat transfer can play an important roll in fluid flow near the emplacement site of high-level nuclear waste (K. Pruess and J.S.W. Wang, 1987). Heat transfer effects...
The Analysis of Horizontal Cooling Enhancement for Nuclear Waste Container Emplacement
This paper presents a novel method for distributing the heat generated by waste containers emplaced in the proposed high-level nuclear waste site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The method...
Modeling of Coupled Heat-Mass-Stress Effects in Geologic Media
To investigate the importance of coupled hydraulic-thermal-mechanical processes for the potential nuclear waste storage repository at the Yucca Mountain, a computer code is being developed....
