Abstract: Quantifying the surface color changes by digital image analysis to assess the quality of the sewage sludge brick is investigated. Relationships among the firing temperatures, percent weight of incinerated sludge ash added, ...

Abstract: A Direct Method for Optimization (DMO) is developed for investigating pressure rise and energy loss in a vaneless diffuser of a generic compressor used in shipboard air-conditioning systems. The ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop a user-friendly software, called an “image color intensity analyzer”, and study its application to the relationship between surface color changes and different elevated temperatures ...

Abstract: In an effort to extend the reutilization of sewage sludge ash and improve the properties of sludge ash tiles, nano-

Abstract: Fourteen Texas SPS-3 test sites were studied to determine the effectiveness of preventative maintenance treatments. These sections were built on four highway classifications (IH, US, SH, and FM) in different climates and ...

Abstract: In this paper, the soil erosion and nutrient loss from a watershed nonpoint source was studied as a system. First, a digital watershed, a hydrological process within a unit, as well as the process of convergence were ...

Abstract: Lack of proper pavement base and subgrade compaction leads to premature failures that account for millions of dollars in damages. Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) concrete was introduced in this study as pavement ...

Abstract: To optimize the design parameters of rectangular primary settling tanks, we used two-dimensional laser Doppler velocimetry (2D LDV) to conduct flow field measurements in five cases and used a previous model to simulate the ...
