Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Power Uprate in Nuclear Power PlantsAlejandro Nuñez-Carrera, Ana Lidia Carreño-Padilla, Erick Gilberto Espinosa-Martínez, Raúl Camargo-CamargoThe three main strategies used by the utilities in order to obtain more benefits from the nuclear installations focused on electricity production and in order to satisfy their demand without carbon dioxide emissions are: (1) Power uprate, (2) plant life management and (3) plant life extension. Alone in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved more than 140 … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2017 · 7,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFluid-Solid Coupling Analysis on Evolution of In-Situ Stress Field by Water Injection in OilfieldJianjun Liu, Yongxiang Zheng, Bohu Zhang et al.Water injection in oilfield may break initial balance of reservoir and lead to re-distribute of stress and deformation of strata. For further research of the evolution characteristics of in-situ field by water injection, the influence on reservoir by water injection was analyzed and different variables were set to study the effects of depth, injection-withdraw ratio and elastic modulus on strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 6 May 2017 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Effects of Climate Change and Variability on Water Resources: A Case Study of the Cheliff Basin in AlgeriaYamina Elmeddahi, Hacene Mahmoudi, Abderrahmane Issaadi et al.In aim to well understand of the association between climate change, variability and their impact on water resources availability, an analysis was conducted of the trends in rainfall and stream flows across the Cheliff basin in Algeria. Sen’s non-parametric estimator of slope was employed to estimate the extent of tendencies, whose statistical significance was measured by the Mann-Kendall (MK) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 12 May 2016 · 9,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Balance for a Diesel Engine Operates on a Pure Biodiesel, Diesel Fuel and Biodiesel-Diesel BlendsM. I. Al-Hasan, A. S. Al-GhamdiIn general, small part of fuel chemical energy transforms to effective power in diesel engines and other parts are going as energy losses, there for many researchers, as well as engine designers, are searching to increase this part by using various methods. In this study, the effect of pure biodiesel and biodiesel-diesel fuel blends on engine energy balance, compared with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Jan 2016 · 8,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Large-Scale Stormwater Green Infrastructure Implementation and Climate Variability on Receiving Water Response in the Salt Lake City AreaChris York, Erfan Goharian, Steven J. BurianThis study evaluated impacts of Green Infrastructure (GI) as a stormwater management practice on return flows and the further Implications of climate variability. The goal was to create a model to explore the impacts that bioretention and Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) representing GI had using goldsim and Stormwater Management Modeling (SWMM) software. The software was used to represent impacts that climate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 20 Oct 2015 · 9,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Rainwater Harvesting System for School BuildingsManoj K. Jha, Nishant ShahFreshwater is becoming limited as our climate and weather pattern changes. In this study, a rainwater harvesting system was evaluated for collecting and utilizing rainwater for uses in non-potable purposes. Water-Balance was carried out for two design scenarios: Single tank and double tank, for irrigation in all main fields (202,724 ft2). The irrigation demand for the entire field was estimated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Sep 2015 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuture Water Budgets and Water Supply Stress under Climate Change and Urbanization in the Upper Neuse River Basin, North Carolina, USAMichelle Tong Sun, Ge Sun, Chong Liu et al.Urbanization and climate change are the two major threats to watersheds and the environment in the United States. It is imperative to understand the sensitivity of hydrologic responses to climate and urbanization across different physiographic regions in order to formulate sound watershed management strategies and policies. This study evaluated a watershed water balance model, Water Supply Stress Index (WaSSI), with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2015 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSHALE GAS EXTRACTION AND WATER CONSUMPTION IN NORTH CAROLINA: A PRIMERManoj K. Jha, Daniel G. FernandezAbout 25,000 acres of area underlying the Deep and Dan River Basins in North Carolina has been identified to contain large shale gas reservoirs that could be used for the natural gas production. This study attempted to quantify the impact of potential hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) activities in the existing water resources of North Carolina. Supply and demand analysis was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2014 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Soil and Water Assessment Tools Model for Runoff EstimationM. Hosseini, M.S.M. Amin, A.M. Ghafouri, M.R. TabatabaeiProblem statement: The most of the distributed or physically-based hydrologic and water quality models from developed countries are not directly applicable in developing countries due to both lack of data and different climatic conditions. Hence, there is a need for a study to be conducted a catchment of developed countries. Approach: From a review of various models to estimate runoff … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Two-Dimensional Wave Prediction Model Along the Best Track of Typhoon Linda 1997Worachat Wannawong, Usa W. Humphries, Prungchan Wongwises et al.Problem statement: A two-dimensional wave prediction model along the best track of Typhoon Linda 1997 was interested to study the impact of typhoon wind-wave characteristics. The dynamical wave model with deep water condition was used to predict the wave height (Hs) of Typhoon Linda before and after entering into the Gulf of Thailand (GoT). Approach: The standard one-way nested grid … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,244 accessesView PDFCite
