Hyalite Reservoir, bntana, was studied to determine properties of this small, montane, headwater, deep-release reservoir relative to reservoirs at lower elevations. While retention times for waters were as brief as 12 d, the mean residency of 40 d from mid-March to mid-December was within the range reported for other reservoirs. No significant through-reservoir gradients for suspended sediments...

This paper presents recent developments on a dynamic model for a mono-tube cavity receiver for direct steam generation with large scale parabolic dishes. Simulations of the model show that it is possible to assume a homogeneous distribution of heat flux along the receiver pipe without loosing accuracy in the calculation of receiver outlet temperature. The model in its current state produces an ...

Recent observations have shown that the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is thinning rapidly and that this thinning is greatest around marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Several theories have been proposed which provide a link between climate and ice thinning. We present surface elevation change (dh/dt) data from NASA’s Program for Arctic Regional Climate Assessment (PARCA) laser al...

In thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the reactor to minimize the operation cost. In this article a simulator is developed by the use of a mathematical model, which describes the static operation of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant. The model is used to predict the steady state profiles of the gas temperature and product yields. Using ...

In this paper, numerical study of forced convection heat transfer in a square cavity with inlet and outlet slots and hot obstacle with and without porous medium was investigated. The walls of cavity in addition of inlet and outlet ports are thermally insulated and the obstacle is maintained at constant temperature. A lattice Boltzmann model for incompressible flow in porous media and Brinkman F...

BACKGROUND The regulation of alcohol outlet density has been considered as a potential means of reducing alcohol consumption and related harms among underage youth. Whereas prior studies have examined whether alcohol outlet density was associated with an individual's alcohol consumption and related harms, this study examines whether it is related to the co-occurrence, or clustering, of these be...

A rise in inlet air temperature may lower the rate of heat dissipation from air cooled computing servers. This introduces a thermal stress to these servers. As a result, the poorly cooled active servers will start conducting heat to the neighboring servers and giving rise to hotspot regions of thermal stress, inside the data center. As a result, the physical hardware of these servers may fail, ...

the aim of this manuscript is to study the implication of aluminium-oxide nanofluid for an amphibious vehicle engine (viable on land and under water) cooling system both analytically and experimentally. to achieve this, a one-dimensional model of the engine cooling system (radiator) is considered through a computational fluid code in which the mass flow rate for a range of the coolant temperatu...

A mathematical model for predicting the temperature rise in transurethral laser-induced thermo-therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia was developed. In the model an optical line source emitting light from an Nd:YAG laser isotropically was placed in the urethra. Water cooling of the urethral epithelium was modelled using a two-tube system. The relationship between the difference in outlet and ...
