Opportunities and Challenges for Direct Potable Water Reuse in Arid Inland Communities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With increasing population and development, communities worldwide face shortages of water for potable supply. A report has identified hot spots of likely conflict over water in the western United States by 2025; therefore, ...
Study of a Port Design for Silo Blenders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental results are reported on two silo-blenders equipped with a new design of ports in their downcomers. None of the mixing streams was falling freely. The mixing of pellets within the ...
Design and Operation of Point-of-Use Treatment System for Arsenic Removal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A point-of-use (POU) system was designed and constructed using commercially available activated alumina to remove arsenic from drinking water. Testing with City of Albuquerque chlorinated tap water containing an average ...
Engineer Roles in Public Participation Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Engineers often are key participants in required public participation processes. A case in point is the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement which usually involves engineers as representatives of governmental ...
Removal of Metals and Radionuclides Using Apatite and Other Natural Sorbents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Treatment of waste water for removal of low levels of actinides, particularly plutonium, uranium, and americium, and hazardous metals has been and continues to be a challenge. This study evaluated the use of apatite and ...
The Effect of Boundary Proximity Upon the Wake Structure of Horizontal Axis Marine Current Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental and theoretical investigation of the flow field around small-scale mesh disk rotor simulators is presented. The downstream wake flow field of the rotor simulators has been observed ...
