Journal ArticleDOI
Reverse osmosis desalination: Water sources, technology, and today's challenges
TL;DR: Key parameters of an RO process and process modifications due to feed water characteristics are brought to light by a direct comparison of seawater and brackish water RO systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sphere Drag and Settling Velocity Revisited
TL;DR: In this article, the Fair and Geyer equation was used to calculate the settling velocity of a small diameter cylindrical vessel in the presence of the wall effect, and two new correlations of the same forms were developed using the corrected data.
Journal Article
Relative) insignificance of G in flocculation
Mooyoung Han,Desmond F. Lawler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the kinetics of flocculation of heterodisperse suspensions like those in water treatment plants using the Smoluchowski equation, which incorporates collision frequency functions for particle collisions by Brownian motion, fluid shear, and differential sedimentation.
