Erosion reducing

Impact and Erosion. Impact involves the rapid appHcation of a substantial load to a relatively small area. Most of the kinetic energy from the impacting object is transformed into strain energy for crack propagation. Impact can produce immediate failure if there is complete penetration of the impacted body or if the impact induces a macrostress in the piece, causing it to deflect and then crack catastrophically. Failure can also occur if erosion reduces the cross section and load-bearing capacity of the component, causes a loss of dimensional tolerance, or causes the loss of a protective coating. Detailed information on impact and erosion is available (49). [Pg.325]

The compound was also known in France before WW1I under the name Nitropentaglycerin and Bur lot and Thomas (Ref 2) detd its heat of combustion. The Germans learned about Metriolo before WWII, and, recognizing its merits as a flash and erosion-reducing agent, started to manuf it. The method employed by I.G. Farbenindustries AG was as follows (Ref 6) ... [Pg.138]

The problem of soil erosion into waterways has been correctly termed our most present form of water pollution (Pimental et al, 1995). Soil erosion reduces water quality and disrupts agricultural sustainability. [Pg.522]

Crop residue application can prevent erosion, reduce nutrient losses, stimulate microbial activity in the rhizosphere, improve soil structure and increase the yield of subsequent crops (Schlecht et al., 2006). It may contribute to SOM build-up, but rapid breakdown due to synchrony of high temperature and moist soil during the rainy season(s), together with termite activity, limits residual effects in savannah areas. Mulching with 2 t ha 1 of crop residue, the rate most frequently used on experimental plots, resulted in yield increases from less than 10% to manifold, depending on crop, management, soil and climate (e.g. Schlecht et al., 2006). [Pg.58]

The investigations show that the stability to cavitation erosion reduces in the series Ti, Mo, W. This data on cavitation erosion of various materials in liquid aluminum were obtained during the selection of a material for a radiator [5],... [Pg.122]

Women produce less estrogen after menopause. Estrogen inhibits calcium loss and bone erosion. Reduced estrogen levels result in more rapid calcium and bone loss. Osteoporosis can be minimized if adequate calcium intake occurs, especially from adolescence through young adulthood, and if estrogen replacements are taken after menopause. [Pg.562]

Ensure environmental sustainability Increased agricultural productivity is enabled through the use of machinery and irrigation, which reduces the need to expand the quantity of land under cultivation, reducing pressure on the ecosystem substitution and improved efficiency reduces erosion, reduced soil fertility and desertification due to traditional fuel use encouragement of better natural resource management and reduced local pollution facilitates rural non-farm-based enterprise and processing of non-timber forest products. [Pg.73]

It can be seen from these data that the water erosion reduced the relative amount of particles with diameters between 0.001 and 1 mm, i.e., in the specific size range of the humus particles. [Pg.424]

Continuing interest in low observable plumes (no signatme of a missile, smokeless combustion) and erosion-reduced gim propellants. [Pg.292]

As mentioned, the water-holding capacity and nutrient levels of soils are lessened when erosion occurs. With conventional com production, erosion reduced the volume of moisture in the soil by about 50% compared with no-till corn culture. In contrast, soil moisture volume increased when com was grown in combination with living mulches. Estimates are that about 20 billion in fertilizer nutrients are lost annually from United States agriculture because of soil erosion. [Pg.13]

Do not pinch on the horsepower valves. They must be left completely opened or firmly closed. Leaving them in a partially open position will badly damage the valve seats by erosion, reduce the efficiency of the turbine, and make it impossible to close the valves in the future. [Pg.305]
