Full textHybridisering av drivlinan är en möjliga lösning för ökad bränsleeffektivitet. En par-allell hybrid hydraulik hjullastare koncept undersöktes i detta arbetet. Genom att sätta en extra högtrycksackumulator till systemet kunde regenerativ bromsningsenergi lagras för senare användning. En bakåt simuleringsmodell med ackumulators laddningstillstånd som tillståndsvariabel och hydraulisk pumps/motors förflyttning som reglering signal utvecklades tillsammans med olika energy regleringstrategier så som: dynamisk programmering (DP), regelbaserad (RB) och Ekvivalent Konsumtion Minimering Strategi (engelska ECMS). Strategierna evaluerades och jämfördes med hänsyn till bränsleförbrukningen där resultaten från konventionella maskinen användes som referens. Regelbaserad strategier visades vara mest robusta där bränsleförbrukning minskades för alla testade körcyklar. För ECMS varierades resultatet mellan olika körcyklar. En minskning av bränsle förbrukning noterades for alla kortcyklar. För en cykel utklassade ECMS RB och var nästan lika bra som DP. För långcyklar resulterade ECMS i en liten ökning av bränsleförbrukning. Att introducera ”låsa-in” funktion i momentomvandlare gavs den störta bränsleminskningen.Slutsatserna var mycket värdefulla till framtidens utveckling.

Recent developments in hydraulic fracturing technology have enabled cost-effective production of unconventional resources, particularly shale gas in the U.S. The process of hydraulic fracturing is water intensive, requiring 4-7 million gallons of water per well, to which a range of chemicals must also be added in order to produce an effective fracturing fluid. Following a fracturing stimulation, anywhere from 10-40% of the injected volume of the water flows back to the surface as a polluted stream of wastewater. This polluted stream of water and the overall inefficient use of water in the hydraulic fracturing process has resulted in a number of negative environmental consequences, specifically surrounding ground and surface water quality and quantity. In considering how to minimize the environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing, effectively managing water throughout the entire hydraulic fracturing water cycle (water acquisition and disposal) is obviously critical. This dissertation articulates a GIS based optimization model that has been developed to optimize water management planning for unconventional oil and gas production. The model enables a diverse set of stakeholders to develop customized water management strategies based on the geological characteristics and water infrastructure of any given play. The model comprises of a front end GIS interface and a back end optimization engine, designed to minimize the overall system cost of water handling as well as minimizing the overall water footprint of the system. Altogether, it is a powerful decision making tool, which allows the operators to optimize and analyze the temporal and spatial variations in flowback, and produced water management and provide an operationally convenient method to access and share the model analysis. From a regulatory perspective, the modeling framework provides a comprehensive template for a water management plan and could be used as a basis to develop tailored, customized regional solutions that can incorporate the inherent heterogeneity widespread across today's oil and gas plays.

In the past decade the technique of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has been improved so much that it has become a cost effective method to extract natural gas from shale formations deep below the earth’s surface. Natural gas extraction has boomed in the past few years in the United States, enough that it has driven prices to an all time low. The amount of natural gas reserves in the U.S. has led to claims that it can lead the country to energy independence. It has also been touted as a cleaner fuel for electricity generation and to power vehicles. This report explains hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling particularly with regards to utilizing the techniques for natural gas extraction from shale gas. It also discusses the environmental impact due to the drilling and gas extraction. It demonstrates that although the natural gas beneath the U.S. is a valuable resource, the impacts to the planet and mankind are not to be taken lightly. There is the potential for the effects to be long term and detrimental if measures are not taken now to control them. In addition although on the surface natural gas seems to be a greener fuel, particularly in comparison to gasoline, it is also considered worse for the environment.

The performance of a number of mechanical applications could be greatly improved by the introduction of transducers that are capable of exploiting the inherent power densities of piezoelectric materials. The ability of these solid-state materials to exert large forces at high frequencies engenders them with specific power levels (mass normalized) that are often several orders of magnitude greater than conventional transducers, but their utility is offset by their small achievable strains. A novel concept for a device capable of improved solid-state transduction, Micro Hydraulic Solid-State Transducers (MHSTs), is introduced and explored in this thesis. The concept is comprised of two core principles: ( 1) utilization of a hydraulic system consisting of a pump, valves, and a working fluid to rectify the high frequency reciprocations of a piezoelectric drive element into unidirectional motion, and (2) performance enhancement through miniaturization. The goal is a transducer possessing high power densities that is useful in conventional applications. Feasibility of the MHST concept is evaluated by designing, modeling, and simulating a prototype mechanism. The effects of miniattariza~ion on device performance are investigated and an optimal scale is determined. Concept feasibility is based on predicted system performance, existing issues, and manufacturing constraints. It is concluded that the concept is feasible and warrants further development.

Approximately six billion gallons of drinking water are lost through distribution systems every day across the United States. In Philadelphia alone, an estimated 22 million gallons per day (MGD) of water is unaccounted for. This constitutes 25% of drinking water produced each day. Water is lost through distribution networks due to various reasons, such as erroneous meter readings, inaccurate billing, and physical damage to the infrastructure. According to the Philadelphia Water Department's Water Audit, water losses in the year 2010 amounted to over $30 million. Not only does "unaccounted-for water" cost the city of Philadelphia millions of dollars every year, it could also be affecting the quality of our drinking water; undetected leaks could potentially allow pathogens to enter the pipes and contaminate the network's water. This risk is magnified in periods of high flow demands such as during fire emergencies. Currently, the City utilizes many methods for detecting and repairing leaks including acoustic leak detection methods. However, these methods are not fast and not very effective in large diameter pipes. This thesis proposes a method for leak detection that utilizes hydraulic modeling and pressure management in the water distribution network to find the source of leaks as quickly and efficiently as possible causing less water to be wasted. Millions of dollars worth of wasted water could be saved while protecting the quality of our water from contamination.

Full textFlutpolder werden zum gezielten Rückhalt von Wasser eingesetzt, um Spitzenabflüsse von großen Hochwassern zu senken. Dadurch wird im Falle des Flutpoldereinsatzes die Hochwassergefährdung für flussab gelegene Flussabschnitte verringert. Flutpolder sind meist trockene Staubecken, die typischerweise durch landwirtschaftliche Nutzung gekennzeichnet sind. Ziel der Dissertation ist die Analyse von hydraulischen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Auswirkungen des Einsatzes von Flutpoldern, um daraus Schlussfolgerungen für ihre Bewirtschaftung zu ziehen. Dazu werden numerische Modelle zur Simulation der Hydrodynamik und Wassergüte sowie ein landwirtschaftliches Schadenmodell gemeinsam in einem integrativen Ansatz eingesetzt. Ein Untersuchungsgebiet ist ein existierendes Flutpoldersystem am Nebenfluss Havel, welches während der Elbeflut im Sommer 2002 zum Einsatz kam. Das zweite Untersuchungsgebiet ist ein geplanter Flutpolder, welcher sich bisher noch in einem frühen Planungsstadium befindet. Darüber hinaus werden numerische Modelle verschiedener räumlicher Dimensionalität von null- bis zwei-dimensional angewandt, um ihre Eignung für hydrodynamische und Wassergütesimulationen von Flutpoldern hinsichtlich der Leistungsfähigkeit und des Modellierungsaufwands zu bewerten. Die Dissertation schließt mit übergreifenden Empfehlungen zur Bewirtschaftung von Flutpoldern einschließlich Kontrollstrategien und Landnutzung ab. Im Hinblick auf zukünftige Änderungen in der Auftretenshäufigkeit von Hochwassern und weiterhin ansteigenden Werten von privatem und öffentlichem Vermögen in überflutungsgefährdeten Gebieten stellen Flutpolder ein effektive und flexible Maßnahmen des technischen Hochwasserschutzes dar, welche zu einem erfolgreichen Hochwasserrisikomanagement großer Tieflandflüsse beitragen.

More specifically, the article also addresses the development of on-demand engineered products and the impact of the procurement process on delays. As part of the investigation, the authors assessed the historical data of the projects completed in 2017 before determining the critical path for each project in an attempt to identify which project stages may be improved. After further assessing the resulting data, the planning and procurement procedures were deemed as requiring improvement. Next, the article proposes a training plan and new procedures based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge guidelines for Engineer-to-Order projects. In conclusion, the results showed that delays were effectively reduced after implementing these new procedures in both Project Management stages.

Full textThe Saint-Venant shallow water equations are commonly used to model river hydraulics. The equations utilize a hydrostatic assumption with a recommendation to limit use to a bed slope less than 1:10, vertical to horizontal. This recommended limit was made in an era when calculations were performed by hand and therefore minimized by performing a one-dimensional analysis with the distance between river stations maximized. Current technology makes a more detailed analysis accessible.
This study investigates the effects of applying a two-dimensional hydraulic model that utilizes the Saint-Venant shallow water equations without correction for non-hydrostatic conditions to a bed slope of 1:8. By doing so it was hoped to show that there exists an effective and economical method for engineers to analyze hydraulic effects in these conditions.
A comparative analysis of the results from the 2D model and a 3D non-hydrostatic model was utilized to investigate the theoretical limit of slope on the hydrostatic assumption. The models consisted of an existing 2D model previously developed for an engineering study and a 3D model developed for this study, which employed a novel approach to approximate the effects of surface roughness. The analysis compared model results for depth, velocity, and flow rate at nine cross sections on the study reach. While the findings from the research are not conclusive they do illustrate that a well resolved 2D model is able to push the 1:10 slope limit on the hydrostatic assumption for the shallow water equations. It was found that a uniform flow applied to the 2D model and allowed to come to steady state maintained a relatively consistent flow rate throughout the length of the reach. This demonstrates that the model did not produce any artificial gains or losses. Surprisingly, the 2D model accomplished this while the 3D model did not.
These findings are important in locations where the accepted methods of 3D non-hydrostatic modeling would be computationally cumbersome and cost prohibitive. The lack of efficient and affordable analysis tools rated for steep slopes leads to the construction of facilities with unknown hydraulic risk to life and property. Fully verifying the methods of this study would provide needed support to hydraulic engineers for these conditions.
Concurrent to the research for this thesis, was the development of a series of lessons on introductory hydraulic engineering for middle school students. Engineering is characterized by its hands on, real world application of science and math and is rooted in a tradition of disseminating knowledge through mentorship. Many engineering topics provide opportunity to spark the minds of our youth. The final chapter of this paper is a summary of this work. It is included it here to encourage more engineers to share their work with the next generation.

Full textDecentralisering av bevattningsjordbruk har lanserats över hela världen med höga förväntningar på förbättrad styrning, effektivitet och produktivitet genom demokratiska processer. Men det är allmänt erkänt att decentralisering i själva verket knappast är tillräckligt för att åstadkomma dessa positiva resultat. Dåligt genomförande har allmänt fått bära skulden för svårigheterna, men den aktuella studien hävdar att detta bara delvis är sant. Decentralisering behandlas vanligtvis som ett tekniskt sätt för maktöverföring som kan utvärderas genom kvantitativa indikatorer. Mycket uppmärksamhet går då att söka lösningar på begränsningar under genomförandet medan mindre tonvikt ligger på förståelse av sammanhang, processer och konsekvenser av institutionella reformer. Fokus är främst på lokala vattenanvändarnas organisationer så att alltför lite uppmärksamhet riktas till gränsöverskridande samspel mellan berörda aktörer, deras anpassningar till reformer och maktrelationer. Detta tillvägagångssätt svarar på frågan: vad som bör göras, men inte: varför restriktioner/begränsningar uppstår och varför sådana motstridiga resultat uppnås? På så vis skymmer själva tillvägagångssättet några av de utmaningar som i verkligheten utgör grunder för de problem som leder till överraskande konsekvenser och misslyckanden under genomförandet av decentralisering. I denna studie har två bevattningssystem i Vietnam valts ut för att undersöka framväxande decentraliseringsprocesser, aktörernas svar på de institutionella förändringar, liksom de huvudsakliga alternativ, utmaningar och hinder som finns för decentralisering. Min ambition är också att ytterligare förstå varför begränsningar förekommer och har kontraproduktiva effekter. En blandad strategi som kombinerar kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder används för att studera gemensamma drag i fallstudierna. Databasen byggdes systematiskt, utifrån tidigare erfarenheter på detta område, och deltagande fältarbete. Decentralisering betraktas som en maktrelaterad process som involverar inte bara lokala organisationer, men också statliga myndigheter, lokala myndigheter på olika nivåer, statliga bevattningsbolag (IDMCs), och bönder. Studien beskriver hur institutionella arrangemang för decentralisering har effekter på dynamik och maktförhållanden mellan aktörer inom flernivåstyre, något som resulterar i att autonomi, ansvarsutkrävande, deltagande, och incitament för de berörda aktörerna påverkas. Analysen visar att det rättsliga ramverket och flera välmenande insatser för decentralisering har lanserats. Men utfallet, vare sig i termer av maktöverföring eller aktörernas prestationer, är inte de förväntade. De nuvarande institutionella arrangemangen har skapat stora begränsningar: (i) obalanserade maktförhållanden, (ii) nya resursfördelningmekanismer som leder till nya beroendeformer mellan aktörer, (iii) passivitet, egenintresse och privilegier inom statliga myndigheter och IDMCs, och (iv) snålskjutsbeteende (”free-riding”) och misstro bland jordbrukarna. Rådande förhållanden går emot politiska intentioner genom att en ny version av en centraliserad maktstruktur på provinsiell nivå skapas genom att makten hos statliga myndigheter och IDMCs förstärks. Oväntade effekter uppstår då för autonomi, ansvar, delaktighet och incitament för alla inblandade aktörer. Decentralisering av bevattningssystem är en komplex process, inte bara en teknisk överföring av makt. Den är svår att uppnå även med policy på plats. Alla komplikationer och konsekvenser av bevattning för den dynamik som ingår i samhället måste noga övervägas. Utvärderingar av decentralisering som bygger på produktion och ekonomiska termer är inte tillräckligt. Konsekvenser av institutionella arrangemang för maktrelationer mellan aktörer, för deras incitament, manöverutrymme inom ett flernivåstyre, och förmåga att förstå och påverka processer, måste bedömas noggrant. Viktiga roller återstår för staten när bevattningsjordbruk decentraliseras.

Full textUnconventional oil and gas extraction has been deployed significantly in the United States in recent years. The current study focuses on the impact of hydraulic fracturing (also known as fracking) on the sustainability of water resources in Louisiana. This impact is measured by quantifying the stress for current and future scenarios of fracking water use in the two main shale plays in Louisiana. The assessment is conducted at the HUC-12 fine catchment spatial scale. Initially, sectored stress metrics were calculated for surface and groundwater, respectively, without including fracking water use. Once both stress metrics were estimated with the reported water sources and uses in Louisiana corresponding to the 2010 year, several scenarios for both sources were evaluated. In the first scenario, a peak year (2011) of fracking water use was added as a water demand new category into the stress calculation matrices. The results indicate that a significant variability in the calculated stress metric with and without fracking is reflected only for the groundwater sector. The second Existing wells scenario calculates the stress including the water use of the total number of wells that currently exist in both shale plays over a brief time period. The other additional tested scenario consists of an increase of 100% of the required number of wells to extract the expected total shale play capacity. Results of the additional scenarios follow the same pattern as the first scenario. This analysis can be useful for water management authorities to consider several factors, such as cost analysis of recycled flow-back, as alternative resources for fracking water use. In addition to this fracking water use impact on resources analysis, an educational web-module comprising the Energy-Water Nexus is developed in the current study. The core of the educational module available online is contained in the learning activities development.
