Thermodynamic properties of products of combustion of hydrogen with air for temperatures of 600 to 4400 R

Description: Thermodynamic properties of hydrogen and its products of combustion with air are tabulated in a form convenient for use in cycle analysis and design of turbojet engines. Only low pressures are considered, and the effects of dissociation are ignored. Several thermodynamic processes are analyzed, and their analysis is illustrated by numerical example.

D-Area Sulfate Reduction DIW-1 Organic Application Field Study

Description: An acidic/metals/sulfate, groundwater contaminant plume emanates from the diarrhea Coal Pile Runoff Basin (DCPRB) at the Savannah River Site (SRS), due to the contaminated runoff the basin receives from the D-Area coal pile. From a previous feasibility evaluation and laboratory testing, it was concluded that the plume could be remediated with sulfate reduction remediation combined with monitored natural attenuation (MNA). Additionally these previous studies recommended that soybean oil and sodi… more
