A derivation is presented of a nonlinear evolution equation describing the dynamics of a flame front propagating in a vertical channel:where G is the buoyancy parameter and iii the average of eJ> over the channel cross-section. The velocity and equilibrium form of the distorted flame front are calculated, and the effect of the suppression of cellular structure in upward propagating flames is described.
The propagation of strong normal shock waves into quiescent argon gas seeded with water droplet is studied. For evaluating the effect of the water droplets on the post shock-wave flow field, i.e., the relaxation zone, the conservation equations appropriate to a steady, one-dimensional suspension flow are formulated and solved numerically. The solution, carried out for a range of shock Mach numbers 13 ≤ M ≤ 17 and a few different values for the water droplet concentration, indicates that the presence of the water droplets has a significant effect on the extent of the relaxation zone and on the values obtained for the flow properties throughout this zone.
One of the natural resources available in nature is water; however, it is not readily available for domestic use for millions of people across the globe. An increasing global population coupled with growing urbanization worldwide has led to increased demands on water supply. The rapid growth of water-intensive agriculture in developing countries and inefficient water management practices in the developed world are contributing to a global reduction in future freshwater supplies. The world is currently in the midst of cross roads where the unsustainable and impractical uses of water are no longer acceptable. The recycling and reuse of water is therefore imperative in some areas, and increasingly such in the others to meet the demands for urban, industrial and agricultural water requirements. Greywater, which can be defined as all in-building wastewater streams with an exception of toilet wastewater, is a potential water source for urban reuse, as it contains a few or no pathogens and 90 percent less nitrogen than blackwater. This study reveals the generation and quality of greywater in Dhaka City. The groundwater level is depleting by 2/3 of a meter per year in Dhaka. Thus, the recycling and reuse of water have become imperative to meet the demand for it. To analyze the generation of greywater in Dhaka City, water use in five households has been studied and about 67% of water was found to be reusable, whereas about 17% of potable water was wasted in toilet flushing. From the quality analysis, kitchen water was found to be polluted to some degree, and judging by its quality, it should not be reused. Greywater must be treated before any kind of reuse as it exceeds the standards of the acceptable quality of potable water and irrigation water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
