Abstract:

A two-pronged metal probe measures the thermal conductivity and apparent dielectric constant of soils in the laboratory and in the field. One prong acts as a transient line heat source probe in measuring thermal conductivity. The apparent dielectric constant of the soil is determined by the time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technique, using both prongs as a parallel transmission line. Volumetric water content is determined from the apparent dielectric constant, making use of an empirical relation valid for most soils. For volumetric water contents above about 8%, the apparent dielectric constant

Abstract:

Duff water content is an important consideration for fire managers when determining favourable timing for prescribed fire ignition. The duff consumption during burning depends largely on the duff water content at the time of ignition. A portable duff moisture meter was developed for real-time water content measurements of non-homogenous material such as forest duff. Using circuitry developed from time and frequency domain reflectometry (TDR and FDR) technologies, this sensor measures a change in frequency that is responsive to the dielectric permittivity of the duff material placed in a sample

In hot and humid regions of southern China, the volumetric moisture content of the embankment after opening to traffic for a period of time reaches a stable state, and it is higher than the design value. When it was widened, the humidity gradient and exchange were formed due to the difference in moisture content between the existing and new embankment. To reveal the moisture migration of the existing and new embankment and control the rise of volumetric moisture content in new embankment, six frequency domain reflectometry sensors were installed in existing and new embankment to monitor the vo

Tight control of growth media moisture content is needed when plant growth systems employ shallow root zones or for cultivating fast-growing plants (i.e., crops). Poor control of moisture can affect both growth rate and plant quality by either excessive watering (waterlogging) or drought events.

This relationship can be used to estimate volumetric water content between 0.21 and 0.95 cm3•cm−3 with a standard deviation of 0.03 cm3•cm−3. The large variations observed during the calibration were mainly attributed to the size and heterogeneousness

In recent years many models have been proposed for measuring soil water content (θ) based on the permittivity (ε) value. Permittivity is one of the properties used to determineθin measurements using the electromagnetic method. This method is widely used due to quite substantial differences in values ofεfor air, soil, and water, as it allows theθvalue to be measured accurately. The performance of six proposed models with one parameter (i.e., permittivity) and five proposed models with two or more parameters (i.e., permittivity, porosity, and dry bulk density of soil) is discussed and evaluated.

Abstract:

Climate change might potentially cause extreme weather events to become more frequent and intense. It could also enhance water scarcity and reduce food security. More efficient water management techniques are thus required to ensure a stable food supply and quality. Maintaining proper soil water content and soil temperature is necessary for efficient water management in agricultural practices. The usage of water and fertilizers can be significantly improved with a precise water content prediction tool. In this study, we proposed a new framework that combines weather forecast data, numerical mo

Abstract:

Past studies have shown that soil-specific calibrations are required to attain a higher level of accuracy when measuring soil water content with ThetaProbe and ECHO probe soil water sensors, particularly in swelling clay soils. Both probes were assessed for their capacity to accurately monitor soil water in a deep drainage study on a Black Vertosol. Probes were trialled in situ and calibrated against hand-sampled volumetric measurements. The generic calibrations given by the manufacturers resulted in significant errors in water content estimates for both probes. Using the generic calibration,

This paper targets the expansive soils in Heilongjiang and Ankang to explore the influence of initial dry density, dry-wet cycle, and freeze-thaw cycle on the soil-water characteristics. The centrifuge method was used to obtain the soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) with different conditions. The volumetric strain of SWCC was modified based on the shrinkage test, and the corresponding fitting equations considering different factors were established. The results show that the volumetric water content is modified to consider the volume shrinkage effect of expansive soil, and the modificati

Recent trends in abnormal weather patterns leading to sudden and localized heavy rainfall have resulted in an increased frequency of surface landslides. As a result, there is a pressing need for improved prediction and early warning systems. This research focuses on understanding soil behavior under quasi-saturation and elucidating its relationship with pore water pressure and the hydraulic head. In the present study, a mathematical model is formulated to characterize the complex dynamics of quasi-saturation based on established principles. The model demonstrates the correlation between volume

Abstract:

In crude oil analysis, the determination of salt content is one of the most important parameters especially for refining and exporting industries. In this study, extraction followed by volumetric titration and electrometric procedure are performed for determining salt content for several Iranian crude oils. Also, the effects of disturbing agents such as increasing associated water for determining salt in crude oil were investigated for both methods. The results show when water content in crude oil is less than 0.05 weight percent, both methods are equally accurate for determining salt content,

In order to study the stability of rock layers and the change in volumetric water content at different stages of mining under an environment of heavy rainfall, a self-developed large-scale open-pit-to-underground-mining similar physical model was used, and the intensity of continuous rainfall was set at 40 mm/h. The results of this study show that fissures accelerated the instability of rock strata, and when spreading to different rock strata, they were prone to form subsidence cracks and produce collapse zones. The volumetric water content is closely related to the stability of the rock forma
