Effects of Coagulation on the Ceramic Membrane Fouling during Surface Water Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluating the pretreatment conditions and fouling behavior is a prerequisite to the effective implementation of the coagulation-ceramic membrane hybrid processes for surface water treatment. Little is known about the ...
Effect of Elevated Temperature on Ceramic Ultrafiltration of Colloidal Suspensions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High-temperature wastewaters and process waters in many industries have been a concern, compromising the integrity of polymeric membranes in filtration processes or requiring the temperature to be lowered for further ...
Inactivation of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> Oocysts in a Pilot-Scale Ozone Bubble-Diffuser Contactor. I: Model Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mathematical model was developed to simulate the performance of a pilot-scale ozone bubble-diffuser column. The reactor hydrodynamics was represented with the axial dispersion reactor model. An analytical solution was ...
Optimum Concrete Mixture Proportion Based on a Database Considering Regional Characteristics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an enhanced design methodology for optimal mixture proportion of concrete composition with respect to accuracy in the case of using prediction models based on a limited database. In proposed methodology, ...
Large Eddy Simulation of Flow and Tracer Transport in Multichamber Ozone Contactors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three-dimensional numerical analyses of flow and transport characteristics in two representative multichamber ozone contactor models with different chamber width were conducted using large eddy simulation (LES). Both ...
Concentration-Based Decomposition of the Flow around a Confined Cylinder in a UV Disinfection Reactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to spatial concentration data, obtained using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), for the flow around a confined circular cylinder (R=4,900) and compared with their ...
Ultrasonic Wave Reflection and Resonant Frequency Measurements for Monitoring Early-Age Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Various methods of nondestructive testing offer the opportunity to understand hydration of cement-based materials. In particular, the ultrasonic wave reflection method does not require access to two sides of a structural ...
Inactivation of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> Oocysts in a Pilot-Scale Ozone Bubble-Diffuser Contactor. II: Model Validation and Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The axial dispersion reactor (ADR) model developed in Part I of this study was successfully validated with experimental data obtained for the inactivation of
