Recharging and pumping are the integral part of any scheme of ground water resources development and both processes significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the aquifer system. Leakage from the aquifer’s base, if present, is other process which affects the water table variation. Therefore,...

An analytical solution for two-dimensional water table variation in an aquifer basin with inclined impermeable base has been proposed incorporating the effect of depth-dependent evapotranspiration (ET) from land surface. The proposed analytical solution has been obtained by devising a sound...

We consider the problem of how to construct robust designs for Poisson regression models. An analytical expression is derived for robust designs for first-order Poisson regression models where uncertainty exists in the prior parameter estimates. Given certain constraints in the methodology, it...

Abstract In this note, we extend Xie (JET, 1994) to solve analytically the Lucas model with a weak externality in a specific parametric case. In particular, we characterize the shape of imbalance effects in this model. Our results are mostly consistent with the findings of the related...

Solid sensible heat storage is an attractive option for high-temperature storage applications in terms of investment and maintenance costs. Typical solid thermal energy storage systems use a heat transfer fluid to exchange heat as the fluid flows through a tubular heat exchanger embedded in the...

Ground source heat pump systems are an energy efficient heating and cooling technology for residential and commercial buildings. The main barrier to adoption is the higher investment cost compared to conventional systems. Where available land area permits, horizontal ground heat exchangers are...

This paper establishes the performance characteristics of convective–radiative longitudinal fins of rectangular, trapezoidal and concave parabolic profiles with simultaneous variation of thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and surface emissivity with temperature. The convection and...

The purpose of this work is to present analytical solution for linearized Boussinesq equation in triangular-shaped aquifers in response to transient recharge from an overlaying basin. Four different configurations of hydrogeological boundary conditions (constant-head and no-flow) are considered....

Urban encroachment in natural floodplain areas and infrastructures interfering with watercourses have caused higher flood risks in lowland areas. In this context, detention basins have become a fundamental instrument for stormwater and environmental management at watershed scale. Numerical...

We derive a customized solution to the diffusion equation in a heterogeneous slab with an arbitrary contiguous source. While aspects of solution have previously been reported in the literature, its full explicit form as presented here by solving a 3-term recurrence, has not. We conclude with a...
