Electric field control of NOx formation in the flame channel flows
General
The present studies aimed to obtain clean fuel combustion and get detailed information about the processes that determine the electric field effect on NOx formation in flame channel flows. The experimental studies demonstrate that the interaction between the radial electric field and the flame...
Simulating of the admixture spreading in a steady 2D lengthy stream of the viscous fluid
General
The problem of the passive contaminant spreading in a steady viscous fluid stream is discussed while the admixture's dissipation and diffusion are taken into account. The channel is assumed to be a horizontal plane, curvilinear and quite lengthy, so that the ratio of the stream width to its length...
Application and Verification of a three-dimensional Hydrodynamic Model to Hamilton Harbour, Canada
General
A multi-layered three-dimensional hydrodynamic model has been developed to provide flow fields and water level changes in Hamilton Harbour. The field data collected in Hamilton Harbour during 1990 & 1991 field seasons was used for model verification. The simulated currents were compared with current...
Conceptual site modelling for evaluating contaminant mobility and pump-and-treat remediation
General
The development of a conceptual site model (CSM) is an invaluable tool used for assessing and planning remedial actions at a contaminated site. The CSM incorporates site-specific, hydrogeologic and geochemical information to identify contaminants of concern, sources of pollution, environmental...
Natural restoration of radiopolluted ecosystems and impact on human health
General
The vertical migration velocity of radionuclides and the ability of soils components to immobilise them, as the most important parameters of natural-restoration, was studied. The Dose Equivalent Rate (DER) reduction of external ã-radiation was studied in order to assess its impact on human health...
Leaching characteristics of wastes from Kemerkoy (Mugla-Turkey) power plant
General
A main problem related to coal ash disposal is the heavy metal content of the residue. In this regard, experimental results of numerous studies have indicated that toxic trace metals may leach when fly ash and bottom ash contacts with water. In this study, fly ash and bottom ash samples obtained...
Decomposition analysis of CO2 Emissions from the Greek Manufacturing Sector
General
The aim of this paper is to identify the factors that have influenced changes in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from the Greek manufacturing sector as a whole and from three representative subsectors. By means of an algebraic decomposition method the changes recorded during the period...
Atmospheric flow and dispersion through arrays of obstacles
General
Field experiments have been conducted to investigate flow and dispersion through obstacle arrays. Model obstacles which represent real structures at a nominal scale between 1/10 and 1/20 were used. The main purpose of the experiments was to examine flow and dispersion of contaminants in the vicinity...
