In developing countries, intermittent water supply (IWS) regimes have become a usual mode for operating the systems. The reasons and adverse impacts (inequitable supply, deterioration of pipeline so on) IWS regime are well documented in literature; however, limited work is available on solutions to improve regime. Here, we propose application multi-outlet storage tanks overcome issues by consid...

Abstract The source of hot water production for the investigated storage tanks are solar collectors. Solar collectors provide recharging underground all year round. Due to large active area - 225 m2, there also long-term accumulation. Accumulation in 3 sizes with a total volume 160 m3. With regard size tanks, mode is switched between according season. made reinforced concrete packaging structur...

sloshing is a well-known phenomenon in liquid storage tanks subjected to base or body motions. in recent years the use of multiple vertical baffles for reducing the sloshing effects in tanks subjected to earthquake has not been taken into consideration so much. on the other hand, although some of the existing computer programs are capable to model sloshing phenomenon with acceptable accuracy, t...

In this work, CFD is used to simulate the flow in an existing thermal labyrinth located at the basement of a hospital building. This labyrinth is an underground channel equipped with water tanks to increase the thermal mass and reduce the heating and cooling demand of the building. Thermal energy storage in the water tanks is a complex heat transfer phenomena involving turbulent forced convecti...

This report describes experimental studies and analyses on the detonation properties of flammable gases that may be present in the waste storage tanks at Hanford, WA. These studies were carried out in the Explosion Dynamics Laboratory, part of the the Graduate Aeronautical Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT). Detonation cell sizes and pressures were measured in the G...
