Abstract: A theoretical framework for the study of variations in rate, head loss, and concentration during declining rate filtration (DRF) is developed. A simple model for the variable rate filtration is derived in order to formulate ...

Abstract: In declining rate filtration (DRF), the mode of operation of a bank of filters modifies and determines the performance of an individual rapid sand filter. The theoretical formulation previously developed by the writer for ...

Abstract: Spatial distribution of water discharge can be obtained through a manifold consisting of main pipes and perforated laterals. This study formulates the problem of discharge distribution among lateral pipes and from laterals ...

Abstract: The purpose of this technical note is to investigate the applicability of the Principle of Maximum Entropy in hydrodynamics, particularly in velocity distribution in open channels, by comparing the predictions of two 2-D ...
