Abstract: A lab-scale study of the symbiotic ecosystem between Tubificidae and microbes (SETM) was carried out. The sludge reduction ability and ammonia removal performance of the system were investigated, and the nitrogen transfer ...

Abstract: A finite element method (FEM) is used here to analyse the distribution of residual stresses generated by surface induction hardening. The analysis considers both transformation induced plasticity ...

Abstract: According to the thermodynamics of adsorption, a general equation for the adsorption isotherm was derived and verified by the literature data. The constants involved in the proposed model are physically defined. It was ...

Abstract: For stormwater systems, geysers in manholes are a risk to pedestrian and vehicle safety and the urban environment. Manhole covers dancing and blowing off are reported worldwide during heavy rainfall and geyser events. These ...

Abstract: Embankment dams are common worldwide, and the majority of past dam failures are related to such dams. It is imperative to improve the prediction accuracy of embankment dam failure to better estimate the potential impacts ...

Abstract: The concept of a high-speed passenger traffic location line is proposed by analyzing intercity rail traffic location and network evolution characteristics to improve the effectiveness of intercity rail transit network ...

Abstract: A rigorous theoretical solution is presented for torsional vibration response of a pipe pile embedded in radial heterogeneous transversely isotropic saturated soil. The method was successfully verified against the analytical ...

Abstract: Siphon frequently is employed in pump stations as a pump outlet with a convenient flow cutoff mode for pump shutdown, and it usually works with axial-flow pumps with a large discharge and low head. After the pump starts, ...

Abstract: Storm geysers are air–water eruptions from stormwater manholes during intense rainfalls, which raise public safety concerns. They arise from entrapped air release in stormwater tunnels as flow transitions from open to ...
