Bistatic Scattering from an Anisotropic Rough Surface in Water Tank

The objective of this work was to study the scattering strength depending on the receiver and sound source positions compared to an anisotropic surface. Roughness scattering by an anisotropic rough surface was studied under controlled laboratory conditions at a frequency of 500kHz. Two kinds of anisotropic rough surfaces were used, both with a height of 3mm, but one with a wavelength of 2.5cm t...

Predictions of the Joule-Thomson Inversion Curve for Water and Methanol from the LJ-SAFT EOS

In this work, we have calculated the Joule-Thomson inversion curve of two important associating fluids, namely water and methanol, from the SAFT equation of state. Comparisons with the available experimental data, for water and methanol indicate that this molecular based equation of state gives good prediction of the low temperature branch; but, unfortunately, due to lack of isenthalpic dat...

Drinking water treatment response following a Colorado wildfire.

Wildfires can greatly alter the vegetation, soils, and hydrologic processes of watersheds serving as drinking water supplies, which may negatively influence source water quality and treatment. To address wildfire impacts on treatment, a drinking water intake below a burned watershed and an upstream, unburned reference site were monitored following the High Park wildfire (2012) in the Cache la P...

Unheated water in the first tank of a three-tank broiler scalder.

Scalding with unheated water in the first tank of a simulated three-tank scalder was tested to determine whether carcass bacteria, efficiency of feather removal, and cooked breast meat tenderness are affected as compared with carcasses scalded at the same temperature (57 C) in all tanks. This experiment was performed on 3 d using 6-wk-old broilers. On each day, eight birds per treatment were pr...
