Building materials, being porous media, are subject to heat and moisture transfer, when they are submitted to variables external temperature and relative humidity conditions. The moisture flow can degrade the materials thermal performances and then increase the need of energy to maintain the building interne comfort. In order to make a judicious choice of adapted materials to dry tropical...
The SANBRADO mine tailings storage facility has been installed in a river, so we note a habitual presence of water on the south and south-east sides of the tailings storage facility. Also, the existence of power poles on the northeast side of the dam prevented the embankment from being sloped as originally planned.
The aim of this study is to carry out numerical modelling using Geostudio...
The Claisen-Schmidt condensation is one of the most important catalytic reactions for syntheses developed in the 20th century. Generally, this condensation is carried out with or without a toxic solvent in the presence of a catalyst. This research focused on the use of a green solvent (water) for the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction, improved by catalysts based on simple natural phosphate...
Due to water resources scarcity, reasonable water available management has become essential in arid and semi arid regions. Drip irrigation is increasingly used in irrigated agriculture because of its productivity and water savings. However, water may still be lost through deep percolation. In this work, HYDRUS software is used to simulate water movement coupled with heat transport in a...
Abstract:
The availability of quality data is essential for scientific decision-support programs. For a poor country like Burkina Faso, which has implemented a vast development program through agro-sylvo-pastoral growth poles, the availability of quality agro-climatic data is a prerequisite for all prediction and practice optimization methods that will guide professionals to a good return on...
