a methodology is presented in this paper to find optimal location and dosage of chlorine injection in water distribution networks. the objective is to minimize the chlorine consumption while keeping the residual chlorine at each node within the standard range. unfortunately because of wrong water quality management in water distribution networks in many parts of the world, many problems such as...

INTRODUCTION In scuba-diving practice, instantaneous gas consumption is generally calculated from the fall in cylinder pressure without considering the effects of water temperature (heat transfer) and adiabatic processes. We aimed to develop a simple but precise method for calculating the instantaneous gas consumption during a dive. METHODS With gas thermodynamics and water/gas heat transfer,...

One of the subjects in solar water heater design is considering distribution of hot water consumption during the day. For example, each of the household, commercial, office, school, and industrial consumptions have a particular distribution of hot water consumption named pattern in this article. In solar computation principles, the effect of longitude, latitude, and altitude on collector angle ...

The concentration of glucose is tightly regulated in the blood by a complicated set of physiological variables. To provide students with a means to more readily understand these complex mechanisms, the control of the water level in a beaver pond is presented as an analogy. A beaver must maintain a constant water level in the pond for the proper functioning of the lodge, just as blood glucose is...
