Abstract: In several problems of engineering and sciences, the domain of analysis extends to large distances in one or more directions. Such problems can be analyzed efficiently by the method of finite elements by using a combination ...

Abstract: Blockage detection using transient analysis has emerged as a promising technique because it requires measurements at only one location. This study proposes a modified reconstructive method of characteristics (RMOC) technique ...

Abstract: This note proposes a new method for snapshot analysis of water distribution systems based on the commonly used gradient method. The proposed method uses a secant (intersecting the head-loss function in two points) instead ...

Abstract: Hydrous bismuth oxides (HBOs) have the sorptive property to remove nitrate from water. HBOs are also efficient in removing other competitive anions like bicarbonates and sulfates from water. To use HBOs as sorptive filtration ...

Abstract: The line of extraction in Bord and Pillar (B&P) or Room and Pillar methods plays a paramount role in the extraction of coal pillars in underground mines. It is an important factor that has to be decided at the premining ...
