measuring sensitivity of hydraulic structures is considered as an approach for evaluation of water projects performance, due to lower distribution efficiency in irrigation and drainage project schemes. sensitivity analysis approach for irrigation structures is one of flow analysis methods which are developed in recent years in order to measure the behavior of flow in hydraulic structures in an ...

In water quality management, pollution control strategies have been sought to accord with the assimilative capacity of water bodies so as to preserve water quality. The waste load allocation (WLA) is a useful approach to determine the allowable loading of pollution sources in water quality management. For any WLA, a particular water body condition is needed as a basic scenario under which the r...

In the current research project, the thermal performance of a series of newly designed mixers has been investigated. Each mixer has two concentric cylinders comprising two annular slot flow channels around a solid cylindrical rod at the center. In each mixer, the first cylinder around the central solid rod has either spherical or pyramidal protrusions throughout the outer surface. It has been o...

Electro-osmotic pumping (EOP) theory and its characteristics (transport numbers, brine concentration, current density, current efficiency, electro-osmotic coefficients, etc.) of Selemion AMV and CMV ion-exchange membranes were studied. The brine concentration increased with increase in current density and feed water concentration. Current efficiency was nearly constant in a wide range of curren...

water crisis is one of the basic problems in the arid and drought prone areas like iran. this condition in the recent years has aggravated due to drought phenomenon. thus, using poor water quality has increased in areas where good quality is not available. in this study, in order to investigate clogging, 5 types of emitters including micro flapper, netafim, corona, axios and iran drip were test...

in this work, the characteristics of flow and heat transfer of a fluid containing nano particles of aluminum oxide with the water volume fraction (0.1-0.2-0.3)(v/v) percent of the reports. the overall heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer and the average heat transfer fluid containing nano water - aluminum oxide in a horizontal double pipe counter flow heat exchanger under turbulent flow con...

The immiscible displacement of oil by water through a porous and permeable reservoir rock can be described by the use of a fractional flow curves (fw versus Sw). Water flooding project parameters can be obtained from the fractional flow curve. However, developing a representative fractional flow curve for a specific reservoir can be quite challenging when fluid and special core analysis data is...
