Abstract:
Benefits from operator training programs need to be measured to justify training budgets. Training benefits can be measured by both quantitative and qualitative procedures. Actual benefits from operator training programs are measured in terms of money saved on plant operation and maintenance, improved operator performance on certification examinations, better quality plant effluents, achievement of optimum chemical dose and favorable impressions on regulatory agency personnel. Benefits from training are also described on the basis of public satisfaction, public image, protection of capital inv

Abstract:
Evaluating the viability of hydropower projects involves a comprehensive examination of costs and benefits. Economic analysis extends to broader impacts, such as fuel diversification, market advantages, production cost savings, job creation, and improved reliability. Benefit-cost analysis compares monetary costs and benefits, including direct and indirect community effects. This study has used literature survey method to provide insights into projected and actual outcomes, supported by guidelines from institutions like ADB, UNIDO, and the World Bank.

This study sets out to address the question of whether the costs and the benefits of measuring intellectual capital assets differ depending on the driver for that measure. Although pressure is growing on firms to measure and report on their intellectual capital assets no research has yet been published that questions the costs associated with such actions.

The objective of the study was to determine the status of current technology, its limitations and gaps, affecting Ultrasonic Flow Measurement performance and to provide direction for future research and initiatives. Result: The first task completed was an industry standard survey of Ultrasonic Flow Measurement vendors. This survey required the research of existing publications, interviewing operators of existing installations and interviewing qualified ultrasonic meter vendor

Abstract:
Pipe-to-soil potential measurements are the primary means for monitoring the effectiveness of cathodic protection (CP) systems. All criteria for cathodic protection employ, in one form or another, a potential measurement of the pipe with respect to a reference electrode. Although the pipeline industry obviously depends on pipe-to-soil potential measurements for monitoring CP systems, very little is known concerning what portion of the pipe is being sampled by the potential measurement. Prior to performing this project, many questions remained unanswered, such as: (1) what is the length of pipe

Abstract:
Proof of Concept Testing was performed to verify the Field Pump Performance Testing Procedure developed in Phase I of the project before applying it in the field where costs are higher. Testing was performed in Sulzer's pump test laboratory, in Winterthur Switzerland, using a model pump with similar specific speed and design as used in many crude oil pipeline installations. Testing included a baseline test with water and five tests with mineral oil at viscosities varying from 95 to 500 cSt. To validate field pump performance testing techniques several measurements were taken using different me

Abstract:
CFD simulations of pump suction piping coupled to a double suction volute pump were performed with oil at a viscosity of ~90 cSt. Two variants of the suction piping were modeled in order to investigate their effect on the pump performance. Measurement data obtained during PRCI project CPR-15A were used to validate the CFD setup. The CFD results were mostly in line with the measurements, in particular performance and pressure tap values in the suction piping. The pump rotor forces predicted by CFD however showed significant differences to the measured values. The CFD setup presented in this rep

Full text
Abstract:
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) and other in-situ and remote sensing dielectric methods for determining the soil water content had become standard in both research and practice in the last two decades. Limitations of existing dielectric methods in some soils, and introduction of new agricultural measurement devices or approaches based on soil dielectric properties mandate improved understanding of the relationship between the measured effective permittivity (dielectric constant) and the soil water content. Mounting evidence indicates that consideration must be given not only to the volume frac

Abstract:
Transit should serve all users, regardless of age, race, ability, or any other identity. Policies and planning must be conscious of inequities when defining and measuring equity in public transportation. This study was done to aid the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the state’s transit agencies in assessing transit service equity and assisting with evaluating past, existing, and future inequities. This report identifies and evaluates policies and practices associated with equity measurement in public transit from extant academic and professional literature sources. These
