Strict Liability versus Negligence in Indiana Harbor

In January of 1979, a railroad tank car containing the chemical acrylonitrile started leaking at a rail yard in south suburban Chicago. The chemical was manufactured by American Cyanamid Co (Cyanamid) in Louisiana. Cyanamid had leased the tank car, filled it with acrylonitrile, and delivered it to the Missouri Pacific Railroad for transport to the Chicago suburbs. The leak occurred while the ca...

The future of hydraulic tests

Perhaps because of the existence of a vast amount of literature, many hydrogeologists believe that well hydraulics is no longer at the frontier of our discipline. Well testing is well established both in theory and practice; its techniques have been applied for decades. However, despite more than 100 years of theoretical development, the plight of the field hydrogeologist is still not enviable ...

A parametric model for predicting cut point of hydraulic classifiers

A new parametric model was developed for predicting cut point of hydraulic classifiers. The model directly uses operating parameters including pulp flowrate, feed particle size characteristics, pulp solids content, solid density and particles retention time in the classification chamber and also covers uncontrollable errors using calibration constants. The model applicability was first verified...
