Abstract: The application of the Muskingum model to river and channel flood routing may have some limitations because of its inherent assumption of a linear relationship between channel storage and weighted flow. Although nonlinear ...

Abstract: Modeling intermittent water distribution networks (WDNs) requires effective incorporation of the transient flow conditions, including the transitions from pressurized to partial flow regimes and the inverse associated with ...

Abstract: Pharmaceutical industries are known for their batch operations using wide varieties of solvents, reactants, and catalysts. To study the efficiency of production process within a pharmaceutical industry, synthesis of an ...

Abstract: An integrated decision support system (DSS) that aids the operation of a tank (small-scale reservoir) irrigation system in south India is described. The DSS includes data subsystem, a model subsystem, a knowledge base, and ...

Abstract: This paper describes a novel cellular automata-based mesoscale multispecies reactive-transport (CA-MSRT) model for predicting microbial regrowth and trihalomethanes (THMs) formation in water distribution systems (WDSs) ...

Abstract: This paper investigates squeeze film bearings supporting a centrally preloaded rigid rotor mounted in antifriction bearings. Assuming the short bearing approximation and isothermal, incompressible ...

Abstract: Transit route network design for urban bus systems involves the selection of a set of routes and the associated frequencies that achieve the desired objective, subject to the operational constraints. This can be formulated ...

Abstract: Dumpsite leachate contains heavy metals, which eventually get discharged into natural water bodies inflicting heavy damage on the environment and human health. The separation of heavy metals, including Cr, Cu, Pb, Mn, and ...
