correct estimation of suspended sediment transported by a river is an important practice in water structure design, environmental problems and water quality issues. conventionally, sediment rating curve used for suspended sediment estimation in rivers. in this method discharge and sediment discharge or concentration related using regression relation that generally is exponential model. respect ...

The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...

The efficiency of ozone generation in DC corona discharge fed by carbon dioxide has been studied. A simple coaxial system of electrodes has been used for generation of both negative and positive corona discharge in flowing gas. The ozone concentration has been measured on the outlet of the reactor by UV absorption spectroscopy methods. Ozone generation in the negative corona discharge was found...

Degradation of technical mixture of nonylphenol by the pulsed corona discharge in water has been investigated. It was shown that non-thermal plasma generated by the discharge can effectively remove nonylphenol from water. Degradation of nonylphenol followed first order kinetics. The removal efficiency was dependent on the solution conductivity, while a higher degree of degradation was obtained ...

The self-sustained discharge of excimers is analyzed. Several excitation schemes that have been successfully applied are compared. For high repetition rate operation not only the discharge stability and its efficiency are important selection criteria but more important is the potential of fast discharge switching with minimum pulse energy. Pulse compression plays a key role in the laser perform...

application of automatic systems, including discharge measurement technology is one of the effective methods for improving delivery management, water use efficiency, flexibility, and performance of irrigation networks. several aspects such as hydraulic, technical, physical, environmental, economic, social, and managerial, have significant impact on these systems selection. due to diversity of t...
