Practical features such as operating flexibility and capital cost have made the number of sub operations an important parameter of the problem. By treating the direct and indirect heat transfers separately, target freshwater and energy consumption as well as the operation split conditions are first obtained. Subsequently, a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model is established for the design of water network and the heat exchanger network (HEN). The proposed systematic approach is limited to a single contaminant. Example from literature is used to illustrate the applicability of the approach.展开更多

A consortium of 5 strains of bacteria removing iron and manganese were obtained by repeated enrichment culturing. It was shown from the experiments of effect factors that ironmanganese removal bacteria in the euhure media containing both Fe and Mn grew better than in that containing only Fe, however, they were unable to grow in the culture media containing only Mn. When comparing the bacteria biomass in the case ofp (DO) :2.8 mg/L andp (DO) :9. 0 mg/L, no significant difference was found. The engineering bacteria removing the organic and the bacteria removing iron and manganese were simuhaneously inoculated into activated carbon reactor to treat the effluent of distribution network. The experimental results showed that by using IBAC ( Immobilization Biological Activated Carbon) treatment, the removal efficiency of iron, manganese and permanganate index was more than 98% , 96% and 55% , respectively. After the influent with turbidity of 1.5 NTU, color of 25 degree and oflbnsive odor was treated, the turbidity and color of effluence were less than 0.5 NTU and 15 degree, respectively, and it was odorless. It is determined that the cooperation function of engineering bacteria and activated carbon achieved advanced drinking water treatment.展开更多

The unique feature of the methodology proposed .in this article is to control the complexity of the water network by regulation of the control number in a water-reusing system. It combines the advantages of a conventional water-reusing network and a water-reusing net work with internal water mains. To illustrate the proposed method, a single contaminant system and a multiple contaminant system serve as examples of the problems.展开更多

Floodwater utilization is an important part of flood management. Considering the rising shortage of water resources, serious water pollution, and undersupply of electric power, it’s imperative to strengthen flood management. In light of the hydrological characteristics of the Three Gorges Project (TGP) on the Yangtze River in P. R. China, we investigated the necessity and feasibility of TGP floodwater utilization, proprosed dynamic control of limited water level during flood season of the reservoir and basin-wide integrated floodwater management as strategies, and identified problems that might occur in practice.展开更多

Based on an established unified feature modeling scheme, a software modeling framework to simulate the process of SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) is proposed. The main purpose of this work was to apply CPS in the complex production engineering informatics modeling as it applied to SAGD. Existing physics models and simulation algorithms for main SAGD phenomena were reviewed, and an integrated ontology model via a feature-based approach has been developed. Conservation laws were used as the governing principles, while the transport phenomena were modelled via the primary phenomenon features. The representation of typical data flows targeting to the functional simulation scenarios by applying the concept of phenomenon features was also done. The definition of this feature type represents a new expansion of the emerging unified feature scheme for engineering software modeling. Slotted liners were taken as the well-completion option and their design and specifications were included in the case study model. The unique representation of the planned software design is developed and expressed with graphical diagrams of the UML (unified modelling language) convention.展开更多

These include geological modeling, the identification of material strength and support factors, stability and risk issues, material excavation characteristics and the proposal of techniques for overcoming geotechnical problems, which are normally assessed as part of the conventional engineering geological investigation. An additional factor that is becoming increasingly important but is seldom included in investigations is the sustainability of the geotechnical inputs, in contrast to the sustainability of the project which is generally included. Sustainability issues revolve around the non-renewable nature of most construction resources and there is no doubt that the injudicious use of these construction materials and construction water is not sustainable in the long term: it is thus essential that the engineering geo-logical investigation should take cognizance of such issues and be adapted to provide the design engineer with the information that will maximize the sustainability options. This will also require a closer on-going relation-ship between the engineering geologist and the design engineer. This paper highlights significant sustainability issues (note that these differ from conventional environmental issues) and suggests some mitigating solutions. The sustainability issues discussed include primarily material and water usage, with some reference to energy conservation (mostly through alternative material usage and processing techniques and transportation).展开更多

Herein, we firstly propose a controllable self-hydrolyzing etching-precipitating (SHEP) method to fabricate the regular-shaped amorphous Cu2MoS4 nanocages (a-Cu2MoS4 NCs) with hollow porous structures under ambient conditions. Benefitting from the hollow porous structures and the amorphous characteristics with copious sulfur vacancies, the a-Cu2MoS4 NCs possess more enhanced activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) than their crystalline counterparts. The octahedral a-Cu2MoS4 NCs with a shell thickness of 20 nm, which balance the appropriate surface porosity and good structural stability, exhibit the best HER activity with a low overpotential of 96 mV at 10 mA cm^-2 and a small tafel slope of 61 mV decade^-1 in alkaline environment. Moreover, this method is very versatile and can be extended to synthesize other ternary nanocages. Our current work may shed light on the precise controllable synthesis of various ternary nanocages and open a new frontier for developing highly active amorphous catalysts.展开更多
