In this study, variations in optimal pump-and-treat (P&T) remediation designs and costs for a contaminated and mass-transfer-limited aquifer are investigated for different hydraulic conductivity (K) heterogeneity conditions with focus on the influence of the correlation length (lambda) of spatially variable K values. Several heterogeneous K fields with diverse lambda values and variances (sigma(2)) are considered. The impact of lambda on optimal remediation design selection is analysed considering different relative locations of low and high K regions. Furthermore, optimal designs obtained for different initial contaminant plume configurations are evaluated. Optimal designs are determined using a simulation-optimization approach. Results show that the locations of low and high K zones within an aquifer, and their respective areas defined through lambda, affect remediation design and cleanup cost noticeably. It is observed that in addition to typical geostatistical parameters (lambda and sigma(2)), better determination of both the spatial distribution of low and high K regions and the initial contaminant mass is critical for better P&T design.

Influence of the temperature dependence of the yield stress on the stress distribution in a heat-generating tube with free ends
Orcan, Y; Gulgec, M (2000-08-01)
Based on Tresca's yield condition and its associated flow rule, the elastic-plastic deformation of a heat-generating tube with free ends is investigated by taking into consideration the influence of the temperature dependence of the yield stress. It is found that the expansion of the inner plastic zones as well as the stress state are affected markedly owing to the reduction in the yield stress at elevated temperatures, The stress distribution and the expansion of different plastic regions are displayed gra...
Effect of bentonite composition on the HP, HT rheological properties of water-based drilling fluids
Kuru, E; Demirci, S; Ozturk, MY (1998-12-01)
In this study, effects of six bentonites on the viscosity and filtration loss characteristics of water-based drilling fluids have been investigated. Rheological properties of the drilling fluids prepared by API standards were determined by using high temperature (0-100 degrees C) rotational viscometer. The filtration losses of these drilling fluids were measured using high temperature (0-232 degrees C) and high pressure (0-2000 psi) filtration loss measurement equipment.
Influence of Surface Finish on Flexural Strength and Microhardness of Indirect Resin Composites and the Effect of Thermal Cycling
Bicer, Arzu Zeynep Yildirim; DOĞAN, ARİFE; DOĞAN, ORHAN MURAT; Sengonul, Merih Cemal; Artvin, Zafer (2012-01-01)
This study investigated the effect of surface finish and thermal cycling procedures on flexural strength and surface microhardness of three indirect resin composites, Artglass (R), Signum (R), and Solidex (R). The specimens were prepared in sufficient number and size according to flexural and microhardness test requirements (n=10). Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX) analysis was also used for studying the morphology, dispersion, and elemental compositions of fillers. The EDX resu...
Enhanced pectinase production by optimizing fermentation conditions of Bacillus subtilis growing on hazelnut shell hydrolyzate
Uzuner, Sibel; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2015-03-01)
This study describes optimization of polygalacturonase (PG) production using Bacillus subtilis in submerged fermentation by Plackett-Burman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM). Five variables (pH, time, temperature, yeast extract concentration and K2HPO4), which were determined to be significant by the PB analysis, were further optimized using Box-Behnken response surface method. The optimization results indicated that a maximal PG activity of 5.60 U mL(-1) was achieved at pH 7.0, 72 h, and 3...
