Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicity of Industrial Wastewater Acting Singly or in Joint-Ratios on Clarias gariepinusAina Olubukola Adeogun, Azubuike Victor ChukwukaFreshwater ecosystems were the most vulnerable to pollution due to their easy accessibility for disposal of wastewaters leading to deterioration of water quality. Ona river, Ibadan, Nigeria is part of a dense network of inland watercourses emptying into the Lagos lagoon and receives industrial effluents from a food and beverage industry. The single and joint-action toxicity of effluents from these … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2012 · 7,028 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental and Skeletal Kinetic Model Study of Compressed Natural Gas Fueled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition EngineP. M. Diaz, B. Durga Prasad, D.S. Manoj Abraham, K. PalaniKumarProblem statement: In homogeneous charge compression ignition engines fuel oxidation chemistry determines the auto-ignition timing, heat release, reaction intermediates and the ultimate products of combustion. To shorten development time and to understand combustion processes, the use of simulation is increasing. Approach: A model that correctly simulates fuel oxidation at these conditions would be a useful design tool. Detailed models of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,258 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiofilter Treating Ammonia Gas Using Agricultural Residues MediaThaniya Kaosol, Nutthawut PongpatProblem statement: Agricultural residues such as manure and sugarcane bagasse are wastes from agro-industry which has low value and requires some sustainable waste management method. In this research, a mixture of manure fertilizer and sugarcane bagasse is used as a biofilter media for an ammonia gas removal application. The aim of this research is to study the ammonia gas removal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetention Pond Sediment Accumulation Prediction using Monte Carlo SimulationSupiah Shamsudin, Abd Rashid Mohd Darom, Irma Norazurah Mohamad, Azmi Ab RahmanProblem statement: A study in Malaysia had been carried out to predict the sediment accumulation in urban detention ponds. Suspended sediment is pollutant of primary concern to the river that results in adverse environmental effect. Detention pond becomes a practical approach to this problem. Suspended sediment that settled in stormwater detention pond, can bring effect to the detention pond functions. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Runner Design of Francis Turbine using Computational Fluid DynamicsSuthep Kaewnai, Somchai WongwisesProblem statement: The objective of this study is to improve runner design of the Francis turbine and analyze its performance with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. Approach: A runner design process uses a direct method with the following design conditions: flow rate of 3.12m3/sec head of 46.4 m and speed of 750 rpm or dimensionless specific speed of 0.472. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 25 Jan 2012 · 8,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Abattoir and Saw-Mill Effluents on Water Quality of Upper Ogun River (Abeokuta)A. O. Adeogun, A. V. Chukwuka, O. R. IborProblem statement: The unregulated discharge of contaminants from point sources into inland freshwater aquatic systems and the resultant deterioration of water quality are largely undocumented in developing countries like Nigeria especially with respect to the role of seasonal factors on the recovery capacity of aquatic systems.
