Abstract: Flocculation is universally modeled on the basis of the seminal work of M. von Smoluchowski. The key equation is a particle number balance that expresses the net rate of formation of particles of a given type as the ...

Abstract: Three simple mathematical models to describe fouling of an ultrafiltration membrane by natural organic matter (NOM) are developed and compared. These models attribute the fouling to: (1) an increase of the effective pore ...

Abstract: Construction financing is continually evolving, especially with regard to the role of the contractor. Of the various schemes surfacing, counter‐trade financing is perhaps the most difficult for modern contractors. This ...

Abstract: This research investigated whether iron oxyhydroxides used in conjunction with microfiltration could improve the removal of metals from a waste while maintaining adequate flux. Filtration of individual metals, a mixture ...

Abstract: Macrolamination, a novel manufacturing technique, is used to develop a dual-fuel premixer. A spatially distributed injection strategy is used to enhance fuel placement, distribution, and mixing ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study describes the initial application of radiance bias correction and channel selection in the hourly updated Rapid Refresh model. For this initial application, data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder ...
