The present work approaches the necessity of the hydraulic and energetic efficiency indicator development for the management and decision making of water supply systems (WSSs) that can enable the comparison between the ...

This experimental investigation focuses on the turbulence features of weak hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels for two different approach flow lengths. The turbulent kinetic energy equation includes the turbulence ...

The traditional design for a Howell-Bunger stilling basin has a valve discharging at atmospheric pressure, a channel with a 30degrees bottom slope and an end still. The design produces an adequate dissipation of energy and ...

Modern long distance ore pipeline systems are subject to strong costs, both from the economic and environmental standpoints. The task of assessing the relative importance of energy and water consumption without a detailed ...

This paper presents a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation to optimize the Security Constrained Unit Commitment problem, integrating three areas: electrical, hydraulic, and natural gas. The model considers ...

The search for alternative sources of energy is a recurring theme in research due to the growth of world energy demand. The development of energy harvesting techniques and devices is required. This work focused on studying ...
