Stagnation of water

Stagnation of water during low or zero production demand is avoided at all costs so as not to promote bacteriological or biological contamination of either circuit. Therefore plants are designed to recirculate water in the polishing loop at least three times the maximum take off rate (m h ) at velocities of 2-3 ms in delivery pipework free of dead legs . 

The definition of a random daytime sample is a sample that is taken at a random time of a working day directly from the tap in a property without previous flushing. When the sample is taken the tap should be fully opened or as open as possible without losing sample. The stagnation of water in the domestic distribution system influences the concentration of lead in a random manner. It is common practice to select the sampling points at random and for 1 litre sample volumes to be taken. 

Different processes like eddy turbulence, bottom current, stagnation of flows, and storm-water events can be simulated, using either laminar or turbulent flow model for simulation. All processes are displayed in real-time graphical mode (history, contour graph, surface, etc.) you can also record them to data files. Thanks to innovative sparse matrix technology, calculation process is fast and stable a large number of layers in vertical and horizontal directions can be used, as well as a small time step. You can hunt for these on the Web. 

Seawater systems should be designed to avoid excessive water velocities, turbulence, aeration, particulates in suspension, rapid changes in piping section and direction. Likewise, extended periods of shutdown should also be avoided since stagnation of contained seawater, will result in bacterial activity and HjS production with consequential and perhaps serious corrosion and health and safety problems. 

The zoogeographic history of the Japan Sea proposed by Chinzei (1991) (Fig. 4.5 and Fig. 4.6) indicated that (1) from 17 to 15 Ma, before the spreading of the Japan Sea, tropical and subtropical molluscs invaded the area (2) the benthic and planktonic faunas changed sharply into low temperature faunas at about 15 Ma (3) from about 10 to 5 Ma, sedimentary deposits formed that were barren of benthic molluscs as a result of the stagnation of the Japan Sea basin (4) cold-water molluscan fauna reappeared in the coastal areas at about 5 Ma and (5) this has been followed by a period of marked cyclicity of cold and warm water faunas since about 1.3 Ma. 

There should be no deadlegs, that is, areas where water may stagnate. The length of pipe without continuous flow of water should be less than six times the internal diameter of the pipe. 

Stagnation of Qi is often caused by emotional disturbance and accumulation of internal cold, heat, phlegm, water and food. It also occurs in trauma and stagnation of blood. 

While D41 decomposes rather continuously in three equidistant steps, G2 shows two early steps of mass loss which are followed by a longer period of stagnation followed by a third step. With the help of the mass spectrum the single steps can be attributed to different events within the decomposition process. The first two steps are caused by the loss of water, obviously evaporated from two different sites of the solid, which explains the separated steps, both more than 150°C above the boiling point of water. The first loss of water may be due to the small amount of water which is enclosed in the inner spheres of the solid whereas at 400°C the leaving of crystal water is observed, which had obviously been in strong interaction with the inorganic compound. 

The surface area of Lake Greifen is 8.5 X 10 m2, and the volume is 150 X 106 m3 its average depth is 17.7 m, with a maximum of 32.2 m. The residence time of water is 1.1 years. Thermal stratification lasts about from May to December, and lake overturn usually takes place in December-January. An anoxic hypolimnion develops during summer stagnation from about June to December. 

Fig. 2.11 Four basic modes of flow of water (a) free fall, three-dimensional degrees of hydraulic freedom (b) lateral overflow, two-dimensional degrees of hydraulic freedom (c) forced flow (one dimension of hydraulic freedom) and (d) stagnation (zero degrees of hydraulic freedom).

Fig. 2.14 An entire groundwater system, from the water divide to the terminal base of drainage, built of permeable rocks. The following patterns of water motion are recognizable (1) a through-flow zone with vertical flow paths that join a lateral flow path toward the terminal base of drainage (2) a transition (mixing) zone and (3) a zone of stagnation occurring beneath the level of the terminal base of drainage (zero hydraulic potential).

Zone of groundwater stagnation. At depths below sea level all the rock systems of the continents are filled with water to their full capacity—they are saturated. Being below sea level, the water stored in these rocks is under no hydraulic potential difference, and therefore this water does not flow—it is static, or stagnant (Fig. 2.14). This situation is similar to that of water stored in a tub, it cannot flow out, and hence is stagnant. Additional water reaching the tub overflows. The same is observed in the sand-filled aquarium experiment (Fig. 2.13) after steady state is reached, all the new rainwater infiltrates down to the level of the rim and flows out, whereas the deeper water remains static. 

Flow velocities of water in an aquifer, calculated by gradients and transmissivities, provide the maximum possible values. These are subject to limitations imposed by stagnation conditions. In extreme cases, confined systems may be rich in fossil karstic conduits, but with no through-flow due to complete confinement and/or burial beneath the level of the terminal base of drainage. 

The stagnation of chemistry had gone. Only a few years before, in 1775, Priestley had written There are, I believe, very few maxims in philosophy that have laid firmer hold upon the mind, than that. . . atmospherical air. .. is a simple elementary substance indestructible, and unalterable, at least as much so as water is supposed to be. ...

Marcus etal. (2004) have studied the speciationof Mn, Fe, Zn and As in one of the Baltic Sea concretions described by Hlawatsch et al. (2002) by means of micro X-ray fluorescence, micro X-ray diffraction and micro X-ray spectroscopy. The concretion was shown to consist of thin, alternating Fe- and Mn-rich layers. The Fe-rich layers consisted of two-line ferrihydrite in which As was mostly pentavalent and the Mn-rich layers consisted of birnessite in which Zn is tetrahedrally coordinated and soibed in the interlayers of birnessite. The occurrence of 15% of As(lll) in Fe-rich layers and of-15% Mrf+ in Mn-rich layers was thought to reflect the stagnation of the bottom waters at the time of the deposition of the Fe- and Mn-rich layers. 

Reliable groundwater sampling usually requires a permanent in-flow or through-flow of water. Only exceptionally, samples from places which do not satisfy this requirement are necessary in order to identify processes of conditioned stagnation.
