Anti-vortex structures at hydropower dams
Vortex formation due to power generation at hydropower dams could cause serious problems, and eliminating or reduction in its strength is one of the dam designer and manager duties. Therefore, the design and use of anti-vortex structures is usual. Design of an anti-vortex structure for each project is unique and it is therefore necessary to have knowledge about the performance of each one. In t...

Thus, the costs of financial distress must be ...
متن کاملShould We Build “Obese” or “Lean” Anaerobic Digesters?
Conventional anaerobic digesters (ADs) treating dairy manure are fed with raw or fermented manure rich in volatile fatty acids (VFAs). In contrast, pre-fermented AD (PF-AD) is fed with the more recalcitrant, fiber-rich fraction of manure that has been pre-fermented and depleted of VFAs. Thus, the substrate of PF-AD may be likened to a lean diet rich in fibers while the pre-fermentation stage fe...
