This research article investigates transient hydraulic effects, particularly water hammer phenomena, in a hydropower plant (HEPP) through comprehensive mathematical model and simulation analysis. Utilizing methods of characteristics FORTRAN programming, the study develops that incorporates considerations, including friction, conveyance system HEPP. The layout encompasses an upstream reservoir, penstock, turbine unit, downstream reservoir. explores influence guide vane closure pressure...
Abstract The simulation approach of pipeline systems, pressure regulating valve (PRV), and hydropneumatic tank (HPT) in hydropower plants (HPP) is performed. article used suitable protection devices such as valves to protect the hydro-electric system against water hammer negative effects. method characteristics solves hydraulic transient HPP system. This simulates phenomena a power using FORTRAN language. aim was find out diminish at entrance spiral case well paper has four major...
Mineral exploration in the Canadian shield is a major challenge nowadays. This because of thick overburden cover and complex geology. Borehole tomography using resistivity induced polarization (BHDCIP) method has big advantage here due to that data acquired underneath quality, general, superior at surface. BHDCIP provides good chargeability data, which can identify mineralization easily. In this study, survey with high-resolution was carried out zones McCreedy West zone, north-western...
Disposal of mining wastes (tailings) is one the most severe issues related to groundwater contamination. Therefore, a properly selected disposal site helps prevent leakage dissolved materials in tailings groundwater, especially karstic area. Where environment challenges facing environmental and engineering issues, for instance, exploration, vulnerability assessment, hazard estimation. In this study, resistivity method with high-resolution surface data survey was carried out investigate pond...
Hydraulic transients are accelerated by the wicket gate closing in hydroelectric power plants. When is closed, there a sudden change velocity due to closure. Therefore, study has been carried out here, wherein water hammers on different hydropower components use optimum closure laws: Fast laws, slow and instant load rejection. Hammer V10i software was used investigate phenomenon of pressure transient. The results show that maximum transient strongly influenced very short time increased...
Soil erosion is a pressing environmental concern that poses significant threats to agricultural productivity, watershed health, and ecosystem stability. This research investigates the performance adoptability of mulching technology as Erosion Control Measure (SECM) within Sebeya catchment. study employed various methods including review existing literature, on-site visits, structured interviews, focus group discussions evaluate factors contributing soil erosion, its impacts, variety SECM...
This research paper explores the effective utilization of 2-D Resistivity and Induced Polarization (IP) techniques for identifying sulfide deposits in complex geological settings. To enhance accuracy findings, geophysical data were complemented with information, petrophysical data, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Electromagnetic Versatile Time Domain Electro-Magnetics (VTEM) Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) Reduced-To-Pole (RTP). The analysis DEM, magnetic susceptibility, intensity revealed a...
The geoelectrical tomography survey was carried out to explore and characterize a (Zn-Pb-Ag) sulphide deposit in Nash Creek (NC), New Brunswick province, Canada. exploration strategy has been conducted by the 2-D for well-cut grid consisting of twelve surface lines (profiles) each around 2 km long, 300 m apart, total area 9.5 . datasets (resistivity induced polarization) were acquired using Iris El-Rec Pro system with pole-dipole electrodes array spaced 50 ten levels data datum. results...
