RISTreatment of Arsenic-Laden Water Plant Sludge by Anaerobic Digestion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coprecipitation of arsenic by alum or iron salts produces a large quantity of arsenic-laden sludge (an average of
Phenol‐ and Thiocyanate‐Based Wastewater Treatment in RBC Reactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A laboratory-scale investigation at ambient temperature was performed to examine the applicability of a four-stage across-the-flow rotating biological contactor (RBC) reactor for the treatment of synthetic wastewater ...
Power Generation From Coal Mill Rejection Using Kalina Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes an ammonia–water Kalina cycle driven by lowgrade waste energy released from the combustion reactions of mill's rejection which is coupled with 500 MWe coalfired thermal power plant to quantify the ...
Design and Application of Risk Adjusted Cumulative Sum for Strength Monitoring of Ready Mixed Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The cumulative sum procedure is an effective statistical process control tool that can be used to monitor the quality of ready mixed concrete during its production process. In this paper, an attempt has been made to design ...
Statistical Analysis for the Seismic Risk Assessment of Pipelines in India
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pipelines are one of the most important lifeline facilities that play a vital role in maintaining the public safety and economic wellbeing of a nation. They traverse over a large area with nonuniform soil conditions and ...
Numerical Analysis to Investigate the Effects of Thermal Hydraulic Instabilities on Deterioration Heat Transfer and Wall Temperature in the CANDU Supercritical Water Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work analyzes the thermalhydraulic behavior of the CANDU supercritical water reactor (SCWR) using a 1D numerical model. The possibility of a static instability, the Ledinegg excursion, is investigated, which ...
Undrained Pore Pressure Prediction in Clayey Soil under Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prediction of pore-water pressure is important for understanding the behavior of soils under both static and cyclic loading and also for estimation of their effective stresses. Undrained cyclic pore pressure models available ...
Buckling Restrained Sizing and Shape Optimization of Truss Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An integrated strategy for sizing and shape optimization of truss structures, taking buckling constraints implicitly into truss design, is demonstrated here. Because the associated objective functional is not convex, a ...
Waste Heat Recovery From Fly Ash of 210 MW Coal Fired Power Plant Using Organic Rankine Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Combustion of coal in thermal power plants generates ash as a residue, which depends on the quality of coal, specific to its ash content and calorific value. In a typical Indian scenario, a standard 210 MW thermal plant ...
Analysis of Pull-In Parameters of a Microelectromechanical Beam With van der Waals Force Using Modified Couple Stress Theory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigates the pull-in parameters of a microcantilever beam influenced by electrostatic and van der Waals forces in microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices. The classical continuum theory (CCMT) is ...
