leakage in water distribution networks causes waste of water and economical losses. in this paper a new method is presented to calculate nodal and pipes leakage in water distribution systems using capabilities of epanet2.10 software. the method estimate the total water losses in the system based on iwa methodology using minimum night flow (mnf) measurements. recognising the pressure dependency ...

in this paper, the methodology of aircraft air distribution system has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. to achieve that, ducting pressure loss and air flow throw gaspers calculations has been done for cabin ducts in according to exact location of individual air distribution system in the cabin. the length of gasper air flow was compared with the distance between gasper outlet and...

background trihalomethanes (thms) are major group of chlorinated by products, potentially hazardous and carcinogenicity of these compounds was recognized. the purpose of this study was survey on thms concentration in ahvaz drinking water. material and methods a descriptive cross-sectional study was based on 36-week sampling program during the winter, spring and summer of 2011 in water distribut...

background: uranium poses both chemical and radiological hazard to the living system. drinking water from river is one of the major sources of uranium intake. dissolution of minerals, washout from rain water, rock-water interaction, agricultural run off, and industrial disposals are some of the sources of uranium in river water system. present study was aimed to determine the uranium in the wat...

limitation of water resources in the earth has turned it as a valuable economic commodity. accordingly, the agricultural sector of which according to studies has the largest wasted water should be managed. therefore, it is advisable to use the application of methods and programming models such as the decision support system along with the abilities of gis in order to management of the water res...

unsustainable harvesting of agricultural water resources in the province of kerman, has caused an annual average of one-meter drop in ground water levels. surface irrigation methods in pistachio trees have low efficiency because of inherent characteristics and its incorrect application, as well as low access to water resource in pistachio regions. therefore under the current critical condition,...
