While the models were trained for streamflow estimation only at the watershed outlet, the performances of the models were compared at different stream locations within the watershed.
A three-dimensional numerical model is developed and validated to study the effect of geometric parameters such as microchannel depth and width, manifold depth, and manifold inlet and outlet lengths on the performance of a manifold microchannel (MMC) heat sink.
The influence of heat source outlet temperature on the performance of the radial-inflow turbine and the ORC system with constant mass flow rate of the heat source and constant heat source inlet temperature is investigated for four kinds of working fluids.
As part of the M&E system, monthly PMTCT reports have been collected from different service outlets to evaluate the performance of the national PMTCT programme at facility, sub-city and region level since the launching of the programme.
The experimental results illustrate the importance of proper design of inlet and outlet manifolds to maximize the performance of a microchannel heat sink.
At the same time, a lower meridional velocity at the impeller outlet is designed to improve the performance at low flow coefficient.
Another design with a gradually increasing width from inlet to outlet was applied to increase the performance, maintain the mechanical strength and reduce the pressure drop of SOFCs.
After estimating the additional hydraulic losses in the casing and the inlet and outlet sections of the pump, the performance of the pump can be predicted using the numerical results from the impeller section only.
Previous research at Heriot-Watt Universito led thethe development of a numerical model capable of accurately simulating the performance of single outlet systems under a range of different conditions.
The work reported herein details the logical extension to this work; i.e., the development of a numerical model to simulate the performance of multi-outlet siphonic roof drainage systems.
