Erosion Resistance Enhancement in Epoxy Composites by Recycled Rubber: Effect of Rubber Type

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Erosion resistance enhancement in epoxy composites by recycled rubber. ABSTRACT Epoxy‐based materials have low erosion resistance due to their brittle nature, and toughness modification stands out for enhancing it. At this stage, the use of waste rubber as a reinforcement component in the composite system is of interest due to its role in providing ...

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.

Valve exploiting the principle of a side channel turbine

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The article deals with a side channel turbine, which can be used as a suitable substitute for a pressure reducing valve. Reducing valves are a source of hydraulic losses. The aim is to replace them by a side channel turbine.
