The present study simulates the flow and temperature fields in a street canyon caused by solar heating of road and building surfaces, in either calm and weak wind conditions. Six scenarios, formed by changing the sources of heat fluxes, the wind speed (0, 1 and 3 m s^-1) and direction (±), are...

Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an important component in water resources, agricultural and environmental modeling, thus its assessment is critical in understanding the impacts of climate change on the sector of agriculture. In this study, the effect of climate change on reference...

In the present work, the degradation of phenol from aqueous solutions was investigated using periodate/zero valent iron nanoparticle (nZVI) in the presence of ultrasound at a batch reactor. The Experimental tests were carried out using pre-designated amounts of nZVI, periodate, and pH ranging from 1...

This study focuses on the impact of climate change on rainfall-runoff pattern, and to assess the surface runoff and groundwater recharge potential from the intensified rainfall for the effective management of surface and groundwater resources in Tirunelveli city. The rainfall contribution is...

The intent of this research is the investigation of the nitrate reduction from aqueous solution using biomass (pine cone (PC) and PC activated carbon (PCAC)) – supported zero valent iron nanoparticles (PC-Fe0 and PCAC-Fe0). The synthesis of these nano-bio-composites was based on the reduction of...

Recently, the exploration of new alternatives to common organic solvents in combination with non-conventional energy sources is a subject of intense research and development as tools for green extraction of plant-derived natural products. This paper deals with the use of low frequency ultrasound...
