To provide more reasonable references for remedying underground water, fuel leak was simulated by establishing an experimental model of a porous-aquifer sand tank with the same size as that of the actual tank and by monitoring the underground water. In the tank, traditional gasoline and ethyl alcohol gasoline were poured. This study was conducted to achieve better understanding of the migration...

The cleaning and sanitation of milking equipment could be consider a critical point in the milking procedure because a cleaning failure could influence the level of bacteria contamination of bulk tank milk. Aim of the study is to monitor the cleaning procedures of milking systems in 7 dairy cows farms in Lombardy and to find a relation between efficacy of cleaning system and the bacterial quali...

The project is concerned with the design of a water tank process and experimental evaluation of feedback control structures to achieve water level and temperature control at desired set point values. The manipulated variables are the pump power, on the water outflow line, and heat supply to the tank. Detailed, first principles-based, dynamic models as well as empirical models for this interacti...

Sloshing due to ground motion develops large pressure on the walls of water retaining tanks. This paper evaluates the efficacy of padded walls on the reduction of sloshing effects in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to ground motion. An analytical solution based on velocity potential function is provided to obtain the response of  rigid and padded wall tanks in terms of the wave elevat...

The exploitation of renewable energy sources in the building sector is a challenging aspect achieving sustainability. incorporation proper storage unit vital issue for managing properly electricity production and so to avoid use grid electricity. present investigation examines zero-energy residential that uses photovoltaics covering all its needs (heating, cooling, domestic hot water, appliance...

This paper reports a technique for temperature-induced merging of droplets in a microchannel. The multiphase system consists of water droplet and oil as the dispersed phase and the carrying continuous phase. A resistive heater provides heating in a rectangular merging chamber. The temperature of the chamber is controlled by the voltage applied to the heater. The merging process of two neighbori...

We report a novel boiling heat transfer (NBHT) in reduced graphene oxide (RGO) suspended in water (RGO colloid) near critical heat flux (CHF), which is traditionally the dangerous limitation of nucleate boiling heat transfer because of heater failure. When the heat flux reaches the maximum value (CHF) in RGO colloid pool boiling, the wall temperature increases gradually and slowly with an almos...

one of the main problems in micro irrigation system is inappropriate combination and in some cases inappropriate performance of filters and sand tanks in central control systems which cause reduction in efficiency of system and increasing of operating costs. this study evaluates affect the amount of algae on the performance of disc filters sand tank in research farm deputy of soil and water and...

Let S be a set of n points in Rd in general position. A set H of k-flats is called an mk-stabber of S if the relative interior of any m-simplex with vertices in S is intersected by at least one element of H. In this paper we give lower and upper bounds on the size of minimum mk-stabbers of point sets in Rd and in general position. We study mainly mk-stabbers in the plane and in R3.
