ESTIMATING AQUIFER PARAMETERS FROM A HORIZONTAL WELL PUMPING TEST IN AN UNCONFINED AQUIFER1

ABSTRACT: A pumping test on a phreatic glacial till aquifer was performed near Ames, Iowa, in November 1990. The head in a horizontal well was pumped down rapidly and then held constant for the duration of the 30-hour test. Throughout the test, the flow rate at the pumped well and the head at an adjacent vertical observation well were recorded. The pumping test data were used to determine the hydraulic conductivity and specific yield of the aquifer. The results indicate a hydraulic conductivity of 2.23 × 10^?5 cm/s and a representative specific yield of 0.03. Hydraulic conductivity was calculated by a simple integration of Darcy's Law after extrapolating the data to steady state. Specific yield was determined by use of several methods from the literature and a new method proposed by the author. The results show that specific yield increases with time, and that each method is within an order of magnitude of the others.     

喷氨同时脱除NO和N_2O过程的化学动力学模拟

本文采用化学动力学模拟的方法,对广泛应用于燃煤锅炉的喷氨脱硝技术进行了研究,首次发现在燃煤锅炉的烟气中喷入氨气不仅可以降低NO_x的排放量.而且可以同时降低N_2O的排放量.文中还就喷氨初期的烟气温度、烟气中的含氧量和水份、NO和N_2O的初始浓度、烟气中的CO含量以及喷氨量对喷氨同时脱除NO和N_2O效果的影响进行了计算分析,确定了喷氨同时脱除NO和N_2O的最佳条件.对喷氨过程的化学反应机理进行的分析表明,该过程之所以能同时脱除NO和N_2O,是因为在NH_3的分解和NO的还原过程中产生了一定浓度的H和OH离子,从而加速了N_2O的热分解过程.     

基于ASTER GDEM的延河流域水系提取及面积高程积分研究

以延河流域为例,基于ASTER GDEM,采用图解建模方法提取河网进行面积高程积分分析.结果表明,汇流阈值越大,河道数目、河道总长和河网密度均呈现持续下降趋势;当汇流阈值为6200时,河网密度为0.28,趋于平稳;不同汇流阈值产生的河网形态各有差异,阈值越大,生成河网越稀疏,反之越密集.面积高程积分HI分析结果表明,延河大多区域处于发育壮年期,处于发育幼年期、壮年期和老年期面积分别约占总面积的0.4％、98.2％和1.4％.     

数学模拟好氧颗粒污泥的形成及水力剪切强度对颗粒粒径的影响

以生物膜数学模型和活性污泥数学模型为基础,建立好氧颗粒污泥一维数学模型,并模拟营养物质的去除、颗粒粒径变化、反应器周期表现以及好氧颗粒污泥内DO和菌群分布.模拟有机物SS浓度和出水NH4+-N浓度逐渐降低,在大约50 d左右达到稳定,50 d后模拟出水浓度分别<25 mg.L-1和<1.5 mg.L-1.模拟出水NO3--N浓度随着粒径的增加呈现降低趋势.当颗粒粒径由模拟30 d时的1.1 mm增加到100 d时的2.5 mm,颗粒污泥缺氧区面积相应增加,总氮(TN)的去除率由不到10%增加到91%左右,最终模拟出水NO3--N浓度降低到<3 mg.L-1.在好氧颗粒污泥系统内,由于氧气传质阻力,模拟颗粒污泥外层DO浓度高而内层浓度低,颗粒内可以发生同时硝化反硝化,且好氧颗粒污泥内DO特征随时间而发生变化.在好氧初期,好氧颗粒污泥代谢活性高,模拟DO传质深度大约为100～200μm;而在好氧末期,模拟DO传质深度为800μm.模拟自养菌主要分布在DO浓度高的颗粒外层,异养菌分布在整个颗粒.当水力剪切系数kde由0.25(m.d)-1逐渐增加到5(m.d)-1时,模拟颗粒平衡粒径依次由3.5 mm左右减小到大约1.8 mm.在不同水力剪切强度下模拟颗粒污泥生长特征相似,其平衡状态下粒径随曝气强度的增加而减小,可以通过控制曝气强度来控制好氧颗粒污泥的平衡粒径.

Driver glare exposure with different vehicle frontlighting systems

Introduction: Highway safety performance at night has received less attention in research than daytime, despite the higher accident rates occurring under night-time conditions. This study presents a procedure to assess the potential hazard for drivers created by headlight glare and its interaction with the geometric design of highways. Method: The proposed procedure consists of a line-of-sight analysis performed by a geoprocessing model in geographic information systems to determine whether the rays of light that connect headlights and oncoming drivers are obstructed by either the roadway or its roadsides. Then, the procedure checks whether the non-obstructed rays of light are enclosed by a given headlight beam. Different hypotheses were set concerning the headlight beam features, including the horizontal spread angle and whether the headlights are fixed or swiveling. A highway section was selected to test and validate the procedure proposed. A 3D recreation of the highway and its environment derived from a LiDAR point cloud was used for this purpose. Results: The findings disclose how glare is produced on tangents, horizontal curves, transitions between them and sequences of curves. The effect of visual obstructions conveniently placed is also discussed. Conclusions: A greater glare incidence is produced as the horizontal headlights spread angle increases. Swiveling headlights increase glare on highways left curves and reduce it on right curves. Practical Applications: The procedure and conclusions of this study can contribute to develop more effective glare avoidance technologies as well as identify and assess glare-prone sections. The glare evaluation assists in evaluating glare countermeasures such as deciding whether to place a vegetation barrier and where.
