This paper is an extension of our previous study [1] and addresses simultaneous synthesis of nonisothermal water networks heat-integrated with hot and cold process streams. Hence, the scope of heat integration is expanded by enabling heat integration of pr ...
A new method for calibration of water vapor Raman lidars based on first principles is proposed. The calibration constant of a Raman lidar is derived from a set of water vapor and nitrogen Raman backscatter signals measured with the lidar receiver in a cell ...
Reservoirs created by dams are vital water infrastructures worldwide ensuring not only water, food and energy but also protecting against floods. Sedimentation endangers the sustainable use of these reservoirs. Fine sediments transported as suspension duri ...
Microbiological studies related to the geological disposal of radioactive waste have been conducted at the Mont Terri rock laboratory in Opalinus Clay, a potential host rock for a deep geologic repository, since 2002. The metabolic potential of microorgani ...
Runoff has recently become the main source of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet and is an important contributor to global sea level rise. Linking runoff to surface meltwater production is complex, as meltwater can be retained within the firn by refree ...
Direct potable reuse (DPR) is gaining interest in water-scarce and water-conscious regions of the world as a technology capable of treating domestic wastewater to potable water standards. Because wastewater is the source water of such treatment schemes, th ...
To assess the PV-potential on rooftops for decentralized electricity supply in Switzerland, the potential is compared with the following urban-size parameters: (a) urban population, (b) number of buildings, (c) the cumulative building ground-floor area, an ...
The sugarcane industry represents one of the most important economic activities in Brazil producing sugar and ethanol for the internal and external markets. There are also plants dedicated only to ethanol production. The aim of this study is to accomplish ...
Understanding virus transfer between liquid and skin is necessary to estimate transmission during water-related activities. In the present study, we modeled virus transfer from liquid-to-skin and skin-to-liquid. Specifically, we performed human subject stu ...
A rehabilitation scheme at the more than 100 year-old Fully hydro scheme, where the penstock had shown signs of ageing, has involved converting the original single power station into a cascade of three plants, which have been integrated in a municipal wate ...
