Changes in LULC (land use land cover), which significantly influence the spatial and temporal distribution of hydrological processes water resources general, have a substantial impact on hydropower generation. The utilization an optimization approach order to analyze operation reservoirs is important concern planning management resources. SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool) HEC-ResPRM (Hydrologic...

S. Jamshid Mousavi (corresponding author) M. Shourian Department of Civil Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran E-mail: [email protected] A mixed integer optimization model is formulated for capacity optimization of a hydropower storage project with control on reliability of meeting the project’s firm energy yield. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) i...

In this paper detailed curves showing the behaviour of resistive plate chambers efficiency and time resolution as a function of temperature and operating voltage are presented. The results show that the operating voltage scales well according to the rule: operating voltage/gas density = constant.

Simulator exercises are used at Midwestern University to augment academic and laboratory training toward consolidating particular skills, increasing situation awareness, and preparing the student for practice within the team environment of an operating room. This paper describes an enhanced cardiopulmonary bypass simulator consisting of a self-priming hemodynamic reservoir that includes an inli...

Integration of Asphaltenes Flocculation Modeling into Athos Reservoir Simulator — To respond to the ever-growing needs of reservoir simulation studies in a large range of applications, it has been considered necessary to integrate an asphaltenes flocculation model into the Athos software. Athos is a multipurpose simulator which provides a lot of different physical options. Operating companies w...

Thermal 15 was drilled in November, 1983, to a TD of 700 feet. A steam entry encountered at 490 feet was found to communicate with the highpermeability upflow zone of the Thermal Shallow Reservoir. A low-flowrate, higher-pressure steam entry at 600 feet was not detected while drilling but was indicated during a subsequent spinner survey. The pressure, flowrate, and enthalpy of the five wells co...

The asphaltene precipitation of two reservoir oil samples collected from Jinlin oil field has been studied under pressure and with/without CO2-injection conditions. No asphaltene precipitation was detected during the pressure depletion processes without CO2 injection. For the CO2-injected oil systems, the effects of operating pressure, injected CO2 concentration, and multiple-contact on the ons...

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) recommends, among other things, that the management of water resources systems be carried out at the lowest appropriate level in order to increase the transparency, acceptability and efficiency of the decision-making process. Empowering water users and stakeholders transforms the decision-making process by enlarging the number of point of views that ...

Decision problems in water resources management are usually stochastic, dynamic and multidimensional. MDP models have been used since the early fties for the planning and operation of reservoir systems because the natural water in ows can be modeled using Markovian stochastic processes and the transition equations of mass conservation for the reservoir storages are akin to those found in invent...
