Modelling water flow,nitrogen transport and root uptake including physical non-equilibrium and optimization of the root water potential

A model is presented for the simulation of water flow, heat flow, and nitrate and ammonium transport. Two approaches are used for modelling plant water uptake as well as for plant nitrogen uptake. Nitrogen transformations are accounted for in a very simple way. This paper focuses mainly on water flow modelling, solute transport, and water uptake. Richards' equation is used to model water flow in layered soil profiles with a great variety of boundary conditions. Solute transport is simulated with either a simple convection dispersion equation or with a two-region physical non-equilibrium model to distinguish between mobile and immobile water and solute exchange between these two regions. A macroscopic sink term is added to Richards' equation to account for plant water uptake. This term can be calculated along two different approaches, one of which is based on the concept of root water potential. The root water potential is then continuously optimized to minimize the difference between the climatic demand and the uptake rate.Simulation results are compared with field data from the Netherlands to illustrate the degree to which the model is able to predict water flow, solute transport and plant water uptake. The root water potential optimization model seems to provide the best prediction of water distribution. In particular the shape of the profile, revealing uptake patterns, is quite well reproduced with this model. Comparison of simulated and observed water content profiles seems also to reveal the presence of preferential pathways. The comparisons show also how predicted solute distributions can be improved by using a two-region approach rather than a simple convection-dispersion model.     

Adhesive bonding of stainless steel water tubing

The use of an adhesive to bond stainless steel water tubing, allowing stainless steel fittings to be employed, is considered and compared with the more conventional use of compression or capillary copper fittings together with a soft solder. Tests carried out to determine environmental effects on adhesively bonded stainless steel tubing suitable for domestic water supply, and the strengths of these joints, are described. It has been found that acrylic anaerobic adhesives are suitable for bonding tubing carrying cold water, the joints attaining superior strength to the copper-soldered ones; a reasonable degree of flexing can also be tolerated. It would appear that certain selected adhesives may also be used in joints carrying hot water.

Solubility of Na2SO4, Na2CO3 and their mixture in supercritical water

The solubility of many salts in water decreases dramatically with temperature in the vicinity of the critical point of pure water. Examples of these salts are sulfates of sodium, potassium, lithium and sodium carbonate. These salts are usually produced during supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and contribute to fouling. The solubility of Na₂CO₃ and Na₂SO₄ has been determined in pure form and in the presence of each other, for the temperature range relevant to SCWO. The experimental procedure was to pass the salt solution through a tube at constant temperature. After a brief initiation period during which no salt sticks to the tube, the salt above the solubility limit deposited on the tube surface. The solution leaving the section was thus at the solubility limit. A rapid decrease in the salt solubility was observed just above the pseudo-critical temperature. For supercritical conditions, the solubility of each salt in the form of a mixture was quite close to the solubility of pure salt. At the highest fluid density considered (480 kg/m³) the presence of Na₂CO₃ reduces the solubility of Na₂SO₄, as might be expected from the “common-ion effect”.
