Mind the bandgap | A temperature profiling technology comparison

When it comes down to determining temperature in environmental media, there are many options—from fiber-optic to infrared sensing technologies—to observe and quantify the relative kinetic energy of a material. For single point data acquisition and a given specific temperature range and target medium, of course certain technologies are more optimal than others. When it comes to ...

Case study - Buoy-based temperature profiling in the Bavarian Lakes

In summertime a temperature stratification occurs in deep lakes – the surface water is warm, but deep down the water is cold. This has considerable influence on the nutrient balance and the biological habitat in these lakes. Due to generally higher air temperatures induced by the climate change, both change and have effects on the life conditions of the ecosystems in the lakes. ...

Experimental study of turbulence and vertical temperature profile in the urban boundary layer

We observed the turbulence and vertical profile of temperature in and above the roughness sublayer (RS) using a tower, a tethered balloon and a Doppler sodar in Himeji City. A 3–D ultrasonic anemometer–thermometer was sited at a height of 54 m on the tower. The present results showed that in the RS, the ratio of friction velocity to wind speed, u* /u, observed under unstable ...

What is an `IAQ Profile`?

The 'IAQ Profile' is a visual presentation of indoor air quality. PPM Technology's range of IAQ Monitors enable continuous monitoring of Indoor Air Quality; this precisely describes changes in concentration levels of selected air quality parameters over a period of time. The IAQ Profile provides the knowledgebase and database for improving indoor air quality efficiently and ...

Transient Ceiling Jet Temperature and Velocity Profiles in the Presence of an Upper Layer: Comparison with Predictions by LAVENT and JET Computer Fire Models

Results of a scaled experimental study are compared with the predictions produced by the LAVENT and JET computer fire models. As in most large-scale fire testing, characterization of heat release rate (HRR) and accuracy of its measurement creates a lot of uncertainty for validation of these codes. Sensitivity of LAVENT results to the assumed radiative loss of 35% is examined by varying the total ...

Flow Profiling on Demand – Illuminating the reservoir with Silixa’s intelligent Distributed Acoustic Sensor (iDAS) and ULTIMA Distributed Temperature Sensor (DTS)

As energy demands increase rapidly, the goal of energy companies is to maximize ultimate recovery in an economically sound manner. One critical capability is the accurate measurement and monitoring of production from individual layers / perforated intervals in a multi-zone completion. This data allows operators to optimize zonal production, improve recovery, increase production per well and ...

Verify and validate | Temperature monitoring for AGF

Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) is a specialized technique commonly used to control groundwater flow and settlement during underground construction. Generally, a gallery of well loops are sunk into the soil and circulated with brine fluid to freeze and subsequently support the soil structure. While the soil-thermal dynamics can ...

Distribution of organic carbon in soil profile data

Soil organic carbon (SOC) content has been estimated at pan-European scale for the soil layer from 0 to a depth of 30 cm (Jones et al., 2005). The methodology used to generate the data layer relied on a combination of a pedo-transfer rule (PTR) and pedo-transfer functions (PTF). The PTR has been developed based on PTR No. 21 of the PTR database of the Soil Geographic Database of Eurasia (SGDBE). ...

Supplier profile: Aeration Industries Int’l. Inc.

Pollution Engineering recently spoke with Aeration Industries co-founder and President Dan Durda. Mr. Durda co-founded the company, which celebrates its 30* anniversary this year, with his father, Joseph Durda, in Minneapolis, Minn. Known as the land of 10,000 lakes, a healthy fish population was very important to in-state residents. The company's first products were thus designed to reduce the ...

Temperature evolution of an experimental salt-gradient solar pond

A salt-gradient solar pond is a low-cost, large-scale solar collector with integrated storage that can be used as a source of energy in low-grade-heat thermal desalination systems. This work presents the thermal evolution of an experimental solar pond for both the maturation and heat extraction time periods. The temperature profile was measured every 1.1 cm using a vertical high-resolution ...

Why high temperature combustion of landfill gas?

Due to the accumulation of knowledge and the tightening of environmental law, the landfill technology has increasingly become concerned with the management of trace compounds in landfill gas. With landfill gas, contamination is through sulphur, chlorine, fluorine, halogenated hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Other trace elements such as volatile organic compounds (VOC), impose environmental ...

Profile: Factors that influence properties of FOG deposits and their formation in sewer collection systems

The quantification of the factors that may affect the formation of the fat, oil, and grease (FOG) deposits and their chemical and rheological properties were predominantly covered in the paper. The factors included the types of fats used in food service establishments (FSEs) and the types of calcium sources and environmental conditions (i.e. pH and temperature) in sewer systems. These factors are ...

The effect of surrounding temperature on liquefied petroleum gas behaviour during exhaustion process

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is considered to be a cleaner fuel because it has less impact on air quality. However, the potential benefit of LPG usage in domestic or residential sectors in Malaysia is hampered by LPG residue in cylinder. A few critical factors, such as LPG composition, exhaustion rate and surrounding temperature, have been identified to significantly contribute to the LPG ...
