Abstract Indonesia relies on its food security by expanding the area and productivity of agricultural land. This condition requires water to irrigate existing rice fields, such as in the Singkoyo area. This study aims to determine the study area’s surface water availability (Q80), irrigation needs, and water balance. Some methods are applied, such as Penman-Monteith for the evapotranspiration calculation, and the FJ Mock method for the dependable flow and water need based on the annual cropping plan. The result shows that the Singkoyo River, with a catchment area of 408.55 km2, has an average flow rate for Q80 is 6.24 m3sec-1, whereas the most significant discharge occurs in July 15.48 m3sec-1 and the smallest occurs in November at 2.86 m3sec-1. On the other hand, applying the worst scenario with three times of planting per year with rice, the need for three irrigation areas vary according to the NFR during the plantation phase from 7.20 m3sec-1 at the 3rd planting season in October, and the lowest is 2.0 m3sec-1 at the 2nd planting season in February. The water balance is mostly surplus from December to August, but then deficit during September to November by -1.34 m3 sec-1 on average.

Abstract By using the residence time distribution method (RTD), the fluid retention zones in the shell and tube heat exchanger with segmental baffle (STHX-SB) and the heat exchanger with helical baffle (STHX-HB) are compared and discussed. The flow pattern and fluid retention zone of the similar double helical flow heat exchanger (STHX-SDH) were analyzed by using the same method. The result shows the spiral flow can reduce the fluid retention zone. The flow pattern in the STHX-SDH likes a double helical shape and leads to a very small fluid retention zone. According to the simulation results, the location of the fluid retention zone of STHX-SDH is determined. The verification line method and the zone assessment method were adopted, to discuss the flow velocity of each point on the verification line and the average flow velocities of the selected zones. The change laws of the flow velocities on the verification lines and the average flow velocities of the selected zones at different Reynolds numbers were compared. The result reveals the distribution of the fluid retention zone of the STHX-SDH and the sensitivity of each fluid retention zone to the Reynolds number. By optimization of the angle of the baffle, the volume fraction of the fluid retention zone is reduced to 1.61%, and the heat transfer performance is improved by 13.23%. It is verified that reducing the fluid retention zone can effectively enhance the heat transfer performance. This research method provides a theoretical basis for reducing the fluid retention zone of the heat exchanger and enhancing heat transfer performance.

Based on the SCHISM ocean model, this paper constructs a numerical model of the Majishan sea area in Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, and numerically simulates the tidal and tidal current conditions in the sea area. The non-structural triangular elements are used to construct the high-precision nearshore terrain to accurately simulate the tidal and tidal conditions. Yearly measured tidal current data. Have a deeper understanding of the tidal currents in the Majishan sea area of Zhoushan. The results show that the Majishan sea area of Zhoushan belongs to regular shallow sea currents dominated by recurrent currents. In the actual measurement, the speed of the rising and falling tides varies, and the maximum and average flow speeds are both the high tide is greater than the medium tide and the small tide. The tidal changes are mainly controlled by the forward waves of the East China Sea, and the direction of the current is basically the same as the direction of the rising and falling tides.

The fuel injector is an important component of the diesel engine. It has a great influence on the atomization of diesel fuel injection, the formation of mixed gas, and combustion emissions. Due to the current nozzle structure, processing level, and the internal hydraulic conditions of each nozzle, there are certain differences between the injection rules of each hole, and there are few methods to quantify the quality of the injector using mathematical methods in engineering. Based on the principle of spray momentum, this paper measures the injection characteristics of each hole of four five-hole pressureless chamber injectors of the same model and analyzes the circulating fuel injection volume and flow coefficient of each injector and each hole under different working conditions. It is proposed to evaluate the quality of the injector with the average circulating fuel injection volume, average flow coefficient, and nonuniformity as indicators. The test results are as follows: there are differences in the circulating fuel injection volume and flow coefficient between each hole of the same fuel injector. With the increase of the fuel injection pump speed, the average circulating fuel injection volume of each hole differs by 2.8%–47.5%, and the average flow coefficient differs by 3.7%–30%; as the fuel injection volume increases, the average circulating fuel injection volume of each injector differs 1.8%–36%, and the average flow coefficient difference is 2.5%–28.7%. The circulating fuel injection volume and flow coefficient of different fuel injectors of the same model are different. With the increase of the fuel injection pump speed, the average circulating fuel injection volume of each injector differs by 3.5%–9.6%, and the average flow coefficient differs by 1.4%–5.7%; as the fuel injection volume increases, the average circulating fuel injection volume of each injector differs 0.3%–5.5%, and the average flow coefficient difference is 2.8–4.2%. The relative flow coefficient of each hole differs from 0 to 0.02, and the nonuniformity differs from 1.8% to 16.9%. The relative circulating fuel injection amount of each hole differs from 0.02 to 0.1, and the nonuniformity differs from 1.1% to 6.9%. The relative flow coefficient of each hole and its nonuniformity is smaller than the relative circulating fuel injection volume of each hole and its nonuniformity.

Vegetation along the river increases the roughness and reduces the average flow velocity, reduces flow energy, and changes the flow velocity profile in the cross section of the river. Many canals and rivers in nature are covered with vegetation during the floods. Canal’s roughness is strongly affected by plants and therefore it has a great effect on flow resistance during flood. Roughness resistance against the flow due to the plants depends on the flow conditions and plant, so the model should simulate the current velocity by considering the effects of velocity, depth of flow, and type of vegetation along the canal. Total of 48 models have been simulated to investigate the effect of roughness in the canal. The results indicated that, by enhancing the velocity, the effect of vegetation in decreasing the bed velocity is negligible, while when the current has lower speed, the effect of vegetation on decreasing the bed velocity is obviously considerable.

Abstract Accurate estimation of factors affecting pedestrian walking speed is of paramount importance for efficient operation and management of at-grade and grade-separated infrastructures (such as foot over bridges or skywalks). Understanding such factors helps in planning for better circulation of pedestrians within confined elevated passageways as well as evacuation preparedness during emergencies. The walking speed on elevated infrastructure generally depends on the microscopic factors (demographics characteristics), macroscopic factors (average flow and density), and geometric factors (obstruction, land use type, length, connectivity, and effective width). The wide variability of these factors and their impact on walking speed makes the speed prediction modeling complex. Therefore, accuracy of such models depends on accurate field data collection, identification of pertinent variables, and implementation of appropriate modeling approaches. With the increase in computational capabilities, tree-based ensembles have gained immense popularity due to their high prediction accuracy in comparison to traditional regression models. The tree-based ensembles provide better interpretable results without a huge data requirement and are able to capture the complex non-linear relationships. These properties make tree-based ensemble models better candidates for modeling pedestrian walking speed, however, exploration on the tree-based ensemble in pedestrian related research is limited. In the current study, an attempt is made to model and compare seven tree-based models (including ensembles) to suggest the best modeling approach to identify the dominating factors and accurate prediction of pedestrian walking speeds over elevated walkways. The result of the present study showed that Gradient Boosted Trees (MAE 9.27) and Light Gradient Boosted Trees (MAE: 9.96) were best in predicting walking speed over the skywalk and foot over bridge facilities, as these boosting based methods improved the weak trees (on the basis of accuracy) sequentially. The variable importance of final models was estimated using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) which revealed that walking speed was dependent on the average flow, average density, and length of the facility. Moreover, other features such as gender, age, height, and width of the facility also play a significant role in determining the pedestrian walking speeds. The identification of important variables not only provides better insight on factors that affect walking speed over elevated facilities but also provides a valuable source of information to researchers, planners, and policymakers for better designing, operation, and management of the elevated pedestrian infrastructures.
