Salt Production From Micro-Channels In The Price River Basin, Utah, Richard Bruce White
Salt Production From Micro-Channels In The Price River Basin, Utah, Richard Bruce White
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Salt production from micro-channels in the Price River basin of east-central Utah was studied using artificial inputs in order to better define the general sources and processes involved in diffuse source salt release within the basin. An attempt was made to determine what factors are most significant in relation to salt release. The study revealed that the micro-channel systems are highly heterogeneous in relation to salinity. This natural variability tends to increase as the salt content of the channel increases.
The Bluegate member of the Mancos shale was found to be the prime source of salt within the basin. Gypsum …
A Thermal Energy Storage Tank Model For Solar Heating, Robert Arthur Pate
A Thermal Energy Storage Tank Model For Solar Heating, Robert Arthur Pate
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The results of a combined theoretical and experimental study of the kinetics of a hot-liquid energy-storage tank are presented. A physical model is developed which accurately describes the thermal stratification behavior in a storage tank. The governing differential equations are developed for the physical model. A numerical solution to the system of equations is presented. Some existing models were examined and the predicted results of each are discussed. The concepts developed can be used to predict the thermal stratification behavior in a storage tank under most conceivable operating conditions. These conditions include flow configurations at the top and the bottom …
A Study Of Geologic Hazards And Geotechnical Input For Selected Critical Facilities - Cache Valley, Utah, Kenneth Robert Green
A Study Of Geologic Hazards And Geotechnical Input For Selected Critical Facilities - Cache Valley, Utah, Kenneth Robert Green
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Important public facilities located in Cache Valley, Utah, were studied to assess their exposure to geologic hazards. Also, the level of geotechnical and geologic expertise involved in the siting, design, and construction of critical public facilities was studied. A discussion of several individual facilities, that were exposed to some degree of hazard, was presented to illustrate the nature of the problem.
Earthquake hazards probably constitute the greatest threat to facilities and to the general welfare of the public. Many earthquake hazard mitigation measures were discussed and recommendations were made, based on aseismic design criteria which has been developed for seismically …
Naturally Occurring Organic Compounds Found In Hyrum Reservoir, Utah, Russell Richard Renk
Naturally Occurring Organic Compounds Found In Hyrum Reservoir, Utah, Russell Richard Renk
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Methods of collecting, concentrating, separating, and identifying organic compounds in natural water systems are presented. These methods were applied to a eutrophic reservoir (Hyrum Reservoir, Utah) and resulted in the identification of the following 27 volatile, organic compounds:
Alcohols: methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, isopropyl alcohol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, 1-pentanol, 2-methyl-l-butanol, methyl-1- butanol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, 2-methyl-2-butanol, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, 1-penten-3-ol, 2-methyl-2-pentanol
Ketones: acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one
Aldehydes: acetaldehyde, propanal, 2-buten-1-al
Others: acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, pyridine, 3-methylpyridine, diethyl ether
The concentration level of the following 13 compounds was established in the reservoir from October 1974 to January 1976:
Alcohols: methanol, ethanol, propanol, …
