The paper presents an economic cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of the construction of a filtration plant for the Israeli National Water Carrier (NWC). Its main contribution lies in the comparison between the costs and the benefits of filtration in the context of a concrete policy choice. The first part of the paper presents a cost analysis of two alternative engineering systems: central filtration and localized filtration. The analysis shows that the costs of constructing and operating a central filtration plant are significantly lower than those of a system of local plants. The second part of the paper presents a two‐stage method for assessing the benefits of filtration. First, we valuate the damages caused by consumption of unfiltered water; then we estimate consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for improved water quality, taking into account households' potential risk aversion. The main result is that total WTP significantly outweighs the costs of constructing and operating the plant. 相似文献

Lightweight structures are increasingly used for high-speed ships. This paper presents a systematic approach to analyse the structural behaviour of a lightweight deck–side shell system using high strength steel. An analytical model of the deck–side shell system was first given, which includes the effects of stiffeners for the deck and side shell, the support conditions of the centreline girder (CL-girder), the influence of transverse beams, and the interaction between the side shell and the lightweight deck as parts of problems to the solution. By changing several geometric parameters, the sensitivity of both overall and local stress and deflection for the deck–side shell system was investigated. The different geometric parameters analysed comprise the influence for variation in the thickness of the web for transverse beams, longitudinal stiffeners and the CL-girder, the thickness of lower flange for the transverse beam and, the thickness for the panel. Furthermore, the influence of the lightweight deck and loads from the deck above on the side shell, the effects of the side shell and loads from top deck on the deck, the support conditions for the CL-girder, and the influence of deck loads on the eigenmodes were also analysed. By evaluating the results obtained from FE simulation, the support conditions of the CL-girder, the thickness of the panels and the lower flange of the transverse beams were found to be the most relevant parameters affecting both the stress and the deflection distribution of the structure. The dynamic characteristics of the structure were also analysed. The FE analysis concerning buckling of the structure was present. The results enable naval architects and structural engineers to design new extreme lightweight deck structure more reliable and economical. And some suggestions for future research are also given. 相似文献

A study on the energy performance of a cooling plant system: Air-conditioning in a semiconductor factory 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper will focus on the energy performance evaluation of a cooling plant system in a semiconductor factory. Several energy saving technologies namely: integrated cooling towers, free cooling systems, control of the chilled water quantity, etc., have been adopted to improve efficiency of the cooling plant system. We have collected actual operating data for 2 years and evaluated the performance of chillers’ COP and the whole cooling plant system's COP and they showed satisfactory results even if the thermal load of the factory was about half compared with design phase assumption.
We also have verified each effect of the energy saving technologies through model-based simulation analysis. The annual electric power consumption dropped about 35% compared to conventional cooling plant systems in case of design phase thermal load. And the faulty status operation of the chiller's number control miss occurred while we monitored. Electric power consumption increased about 17% compared to normal status operation at the same period. 相似文献

The corrosion scales on iron pipes could have great impact on the water quality in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). Unstable and less protective corrosion scale is one of the main factors causing “discolored water” issues when quality of water entering into distribution system changed significantly. The morphological and physicochemical characteristics of corrosion scales formed under different source water histories in duration of about two decades were systematically investigated in this work. Thick corrosion scales or densely distributed corrosion tubercles were mostly found in pipes transporting surface water, but thin corrosion scales and hollow tubercles were mostly discovered in pipes transporting groundwater. Magnetite and goethite were main constituents of iron corrosion products, but the mass ratio of magnetite/goethite (M/G) was significantly different depending on the corrosion scale structure and water source conditions. Thick corrosion scales and hard shell of tubercles had much higher M/G ratio (>1.0), while the thin corrosion scales had no magnetite detected or with much lower M/G ratio. The M/G ratio could be used to identify the characteristics and evaluate the performances of corrosion scales formed under different water conditions. Compared with the pipes transporting ground water, the pipes transporting surface water were more seriously corroded and could be in a relatively more active corrosion status all the time, which was implicated by relatively higher siderite, green rust and total iron contents in their corrosion scales. Higher content of unstable ferric components such as γ-FeOOH, β-FeOOH and amorphous iron oxide existed in corrosion scales of pipes receiving groundwater which was less corroded. Corrosion scales on groundwater pipes with low magnetite content had higher surface area and thus possibly higher sorption capacity. The primary trace inorganic elements in corrosion products were Br and heavy metals. Corrosion products obtained from pipes transporting groundwater had higher levels of Br, Ti, Ba, Cu, Sr, V, Cr, La, Pb and As. 相似文献

Occurrence of aromatic amines and N-nitrosamines in the different steps of a drinking water treatment plant 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The occurrence of 24 amines within a full scale drinking water treatment plant that used chlorinated agents as disinfectants was evaluated for the first time in this research. Prior to any treatment (raw water), aniline, 3-chloroaniline, 3,4-dichloroaniline and N-nitrosodimethylamine were detected at low levels (up to 18 ng/L) but their concentration increased ∼10 times after chloramination while 9 new amines were produced (4 aromatic amines and 5 N-nitrosamines). Within subsequent treatments, there were no significant changes in the amine levels, although the concentrations of 2-nitroaniline, N-nitrosodimethylamine and N-nitrosodiethylamine increased slightly within the distribution system. Eleven of the 24 amines studied were undetected either in the raw and in the treatment plant samples analysed. There is an important difference in the behaviour of the aromatic amines and N-nitrosamines with respect to water temperature and rainfall events. Amine concentrations were higher in winter due to low water temperatures, this effect being more noticeable for N-nitrosamines. Aromatic amines were detected at their highest concentrations (especially 3,4-dichloroaniline and 2-nitroaniline) in treated water after rainfall events. These results may be explained by the increase in the levels of amine precursors (pesticides and their degradation products) in raw water since the rainfall facilitated the transport of these compounds from soil which was previously contaminated as a result of intensive agricultural practices. 相似文献

One of the most widely used methods in tunnel support analysis and design is the convergence–confinement method (CCM). For its practical application, it is necessary to study the influence of the depth and cross-section of the tunnel and to confirm the calculations with two- or three-dimensional simulations carried out with finite elements or explicit finite differences programs. These simulations require elevated calculation times. In this paper, a modification of the CCM is proposed that directly introduces the effect of depth and the shape of the tunnel cross-section in the determination of the radial displacement of the tunnel. To do so, a series of functions are determined that approximate the radial displacement at points situated on the perimeter of the cross-section of the tunnel, considering several cross-sections at different distances from the working face. Should the cross-section of the tunnel or its depth be modified, it will not be necessary to perform new numerical simulations in order to apply the CCM. It will only be necessary to use the calculated shape functions. It is thus possible to use the CCM in the analysis and design of the support elements in a quite precise and significantly faster way. 相似文献

The study on fluid flow and transport processes of rock fractures in most practical applications involves two fundamental issues: the validity of Reynolds equation for fluid flow (as most often assumed) and the effects of shear displacements on the magnitudes and anisotropy of the fluid flow velocity field. The reason for such concerns is that the impact of the surface roughness of rock fractures is still an unresolved challenging issue. The later has been systematically investigated with results showing that shear displacement plays a dominant role on evolutions of fluid velocity fields, for both magnitudes and anisotropy, but the former has not received examinations in details due to the numerical complexities involving solution of the Navier–Stokes (NS) equations and the representations of fracture geometry during shear. The objective of this paper aims to solve this problem through a FEM modeling effort.Applying the COMSOL Multiphysics code (FEM) and assuming a 2D problem, we consider the coupled hydromechanical effect of fracture geometry change due to shear on fluid flow (velocity patterns) and particle transport (streamline/velocity dispersion), using measured topographical data of natural rock fracture surfaces. The fluid flow in the vertical 2D cross-sections of single rock fractures was simulated by solving both the Navier–Stokes and the Reynolds equation, and the particle transport was predicted by the streamline particle tracking method with calculated flow velocity fields (vectors) from the flow simulations, obtaining results such as flow velocity profiles, total flow rates, particle travel time, breakthrough curves and the Péclet number, Pe, respectively.The results obtained using NS and Reynolds equations were compared to illustrate the degree of the validity of the Reynolds equation for general applications in practice since the later is mush more computationally efficient for solving large-scale problems.The flow simulation results show that both the total flow rate and the flow velocity fields in a rough rock fracture predicted by the NS equation were quite different from those predicted by the Reynolds equation. The results show that a roughly 5–10% overestimation on the flow rate is produced when the Reynolds equation is used, and the ideal parabolic velocity profiles defined by the local cubic law, when Reynolds equation is used, is no longer valid, especially when the roughness feature of the fracture surfaces changes with shear. These deviations of flow rate and flow velocity profiles across the fracture aperture have a significant impact on the particle transport behavior and the associated properties, such as the travel time and Péclet number. The deviations increase with increasing flow velocity and become more significant when fracture aperture geometry changes with shear. 相似文献
