Pond settings

Another alternative is to have a complete circular plate with slots cut at a specific radius to cover the hub holes. Other sets of slots, maybe as many as three, are cut at alternative radii but offset circumferentially. To change the pond setting the plate is unbolted and rotated, to engage another slot radius over the hub holes, and then re-secured. 

These last two variants tend to be uneconomic unless it is known that only a small number of pond settings will be required. 

With 0/E values being so similar for the two phases, it would seem that the differential pond setting is optimum, barring any cresting effects or backpressure effects from any discharge device. If it were necessary, say, to Improve the quality of the oil phase at the expense of water effluent quality, then the water discharge diameter would need to be increased very slightly, to increase the depth of the oil level in the pond. 

The column headed beach dia refers to the diameter at the cake discharge. The total liquid volume" is the bowl s liquid holding capacity with the pond set at neutral. The maximum bowl speed tabulated is that quoted by the manufacturer for a maximum process density of 1.2 kg/1, unless otherwise stated.

This book examines five methods used for concentrate management, namely disposal to surface water, disposal to sewerage, deep well injection, land applications and evaporation ponds. In particular, the book focuses on the design, siting, cost, and environmental impacts of these methods. While these methods are widely practiced in a variety of settings already, there are many limitations that restrict the use of certain disposal options in particular locations. 

But no one who is a chemist at heart can resist the elements, and that includes me. It includes Oliver Sacks too, who as a boy set about collecting the elements as most other boys collected stamps or coins. He wanted to own them all. In the 1940s it was not so hard to add to one s collection Sacks could go to Griffin Tatlock in Finchley, north London, and spend his pocket money on a lump of sodium, which he would then send fizzing over the surface of Highgate Ponds near his home. I envy him the best I could do was to smuggle lumps of sulphur and bottles of mercury out of the school laboratory. 

The biological treatment of contaminated water is prehistoric. One could say that the treatment is a natural process of recycling. Part of the system involves the accumulation of water in ponds and lakes followed by the growth of carbon-eating microorganisms. The latter is a process of natural selection. In modem times, this model is used to treat water contaminated by the concentration of populations and industrial development. While the mechanism is the same, modem systems are set up to handle increasingly large loads. 

An indication of what one might eventually expect to obtain for a generalized pattern of relative bio-availability for the actinides of interest in nuclear fuel cycles is shown in Table IV. This represents a recent data set in which concentration ratios have been obtained for all five actinides in tissues of a vertebrate (used as human food) from a single aquatic ecosystem (Pond 3513 at ORNL) comparisons are thus facilitated. The values for bone (Table IV) suggest a pattern of bio-availability as follows ... 

Result and Discussion of Underwater Test Using VP—50 Pipe The samples used were similar to those used in the in—sand test and shown in Fig. 5.49. The test was carried out in a test pond of Taketoyo Works of Nippon Oils Fats. The pond is 36m in diameter, with the deepest part being 10m in diameter and 8m deep. The explosion was set at a depth of 4m. When VP—50 pipe was used for the sample container, the measurement of shock wave strength and the frequency of expansion/contraction of the explosion bubble was made at lm and 3.5m distances. The shock wave was measured with a tall marine gauge. The recording of the shock wave... 

Make appropriate assumptions about windage and evaporation losses and set out and solve an equation for blowdown. Windage losses will be about 1.0 to 5.0 percent for spray ponds, 0.3 to 1.0 percent for atmospheric cooling towers, and 0.1 to 0.3 percent for forced-draft cooling towers for the forced-draft towers in this example, 0.1 percent can be assumed. As for evaporation losses, they are 0.85 to 1.25 percent of the circulation for each 10-degree drop in Fahrenheit temperature across the tower it is usually safe to assume 1.0 percent, so E = AT/10, where AT is the temperature drop across the tower. Therefore, in the present case,...
