Weirs, as overflow structures, are extensively used for the measurement of flow, its diversion and control in the open canals. Labyrinth weir due to more effective length than conventional weirs, allows passing more discharge in narrow canals. Determination the design criteria for the practical application of these weirs need more investigation. Weir angle and its position relative to the flow ...

The paper is focused on identification and measurement of the main parameters of the stacked supercapacitors (SC). The volt-ampere method was used to measure the charge/discharge characteristic, impedance spectroscopy method for measurement of the equivalent serial resistance and analysis of the dynamic parameters. The measured and calculated parameters are: equivalent serial resistance (ESR), ...

The aim of this study is to develop oil content measurement system using transmitted and scattered intensity. Two fluorescence analyses would be suggested with methods that it can use rapidly, continuously, conveniently and accurately in long-distance cruise vessels. The present paper consists of the structure of fluorescence measurement hardware and an interpretative analysis of experimental d...

Spatial distribution of electron density inside parallel plate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is discussed in this presentation by using CO2-laser heterodyne interferometry measurement. This interferometry measurement has been used for low pressure plasmas and applied to DC microplasmas at atmospheric pressure recently. To derive the electron density inside pulsed plasmas like DBD, we used ...

venturi flumes are measurement structures commonly used in water systems to measure the flow discharge. some of them are not well installed or present some geometrical defects. the objective of this study is to investigate the hydraulic influence of a number of typical wrong installations and geometrical defects of long-throated venturi flumes: significant positive or adverse slopes, humps and ...

Measurement of discharge in open channels is one of the main concerns in hydraulic engineering. The structures used for this aim should be accurate, economical and easy to use. Weirs are among the oldest and most convenient hydraulic structures that have been used in both laboratory and field for flow measurement in open channels. Due to limitations of simple sharp crested weirs, recently compo...

the hydrodynamic behavior of approaching flow and the amount of sediment entry into right-angled lateral intakes in diversion dams were investigated using a laboratory channel by experimental measurement and observation. the velocity field upstream of the intake in the main channel and before it at the sluice gate was measured at different elevations of flow at different discharge rates of the ...

abstract although lateral drains play the main role in removal of excess water from soil profile in subsurface drainage systems, but it is assumed that perforated collectors can directly remove a part of drainwater from soils. this part of discharge in subsurface drains is not usually taken into consideration in drainage design criteria, due to lack required information and its difficult estima...
