The capillary action of saliva occurs in the crevices around and between teeth and around dental restorations. Marginal leakage and denture retention caused by a thin film of saliva are aspects of capillary phenomena. Liquids in capillaries isolated from a reservoir showed an increase in surface tension and lower vapor pressure. The strength of thin films of human saliva was independent of ambi...

The Jurassic Shaximiao Formation in western Sichuan has made significant contributions to the natural gas reserves and production of China, with many fields successively discovered. accumulation evolution progress discrepant gathering law are continuously improved constantly deepened exploration development. In order find evidence for difference method reshape migration their dynamic processes ...

Rodrick D. Lentz* USDA-ARS Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Lab. 3793 N 3600 E Kimberly, ID 83341 High water infiltration rates in unlined canals, reservoirs, and the inflow end of furrows relative to outflow ends result in excessive seepage losses and reduced furrow irrigation application uniformity. This study evaluated the use of cross-linked, anionic, polyacrylamide hydrogel (XPAM), ...

Groundwater and seepage samples were collected from both the natural and building-modified slopes in the highly urbanized spaces of the Mid-Levels area, Hong Kong. Groundwater in the natural slopes, although retaining some signatures from rainwater, is enriched in major cations such as Na, K, Ca and Mg and some anions such as HCO3 and SO4. Clearly, water-rock interactions, such as weathering of...

During the rebuilding of a gas reservoir, repeated “strong injection and mining” processes change seepage capacities water. Hence, accurately determining laws water in storage reservoir is crucial. In this study, standard relative permeability test was conducted with one-dimensional core. Additionally, mining simulation experiment two-dimensional plate. The results show that curve obtained by c...

The flux of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from coal tar-impacted river sediment was measured under various seepage rates in a laboratory scale. The batch PAH equilibrium data between aqueous phase (C(eq)) and sediment phase was well-explained using a Raoult's law approach. In the flux measurement from column study, the steady-state PAH concentrations (C(infinity)) in the efflu...

piping sometimes is occurred due to seepage of water in hydraulic structures. the continuty of this phenomenon decreases the safety or caused the failure of a structure. in this work, experimental tests were carried out on statically compacted natural and randomly reinforced silt sandy soil samples. the randomly reinforced samples were prepared with different lengths and percentages of an artif...
