Observations of presumable groundwater seepage occurrence in Puck Bay (the Baltic Sea)
PublicationWe report the results of recent field measurements of seawater thermohaline structure and transparency carried out in early summer 2014 in Puck Bay.

The hat problem on cycles on at least nine vertices
PublicationThe topic is the hat problem in which each of n players is randomly fitted with a blue or red hat. Then everybody can try to guess simultaneously his own hat color by looking at the hat colors of the other players. The team wins if at least one player guesses his hat color correctly, and no one guesses his hat color wrong; otherwise the team loses. The aim is to maximize the probability of winning. In this version every player...

Application of subsurface vertical flow constructed wetlands to reject water treatment in dairy wastewater treatment plant
PublicationThe paper presents the effects of applying subsurface vertical flow constructed wetlands (SS VF) for the treatment of reject water generated in the process of aerobic sewage sludge stabilization in the biggest dairy wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Poland. Two SS VF beds were built: bed (A) with 0.65 m depth and bed (B) with 1.0 m depth, planted with reeds. Beds were fed with reject water with hydraulic load of 0.1 m d-1 in...

Possibility of thermal imaging use in studies of natural convection heat transfer on the example of an isothermal vertical plate.
PublicationA new method of infrared (IR) camera use in convective heat transfer studies has been presented. Until now, IR cameras were utilized for temperature field visualizations of flat heated surfaces of solid objects only. Because liquids and gasses do not emit radiation in the infrared range of wave lengths, detection of temperature field in the air was conducted with the use of plastic mesh, which, after heating by hot air, emits infrared...

Analysis of the internal shell stability of the cylindrical vertical double-shell tank under the condition of the hydrostatic test
PublicationUtrata stateczności płaszcza wewnętrznego w pionowym stalowym zbiorniku może wystąpić jeżeli podczas próby wodnej słup wody w przestrzeni międzypłaszczowej będzie miał większą wysokość niż w zbiorniku wewnętrznym. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę jaka różnica poziomów wody podczas próby wodnej może zagrażać stateczności płaszcza wewnętrznego w zbiorniku o pojemności od 10000 m3 do 100000 m3.

Application of potential theory in calculating wave-induced vertical forces on horizontal cylinders near a plane boundary
PublicationHydrodynamiczne obciażenia wywołane falowaniem morskim działajace na poziomo ułożoną przy dnie rurę, rozpatrywane są w ujęciu dyfrakcyjnym przy założeniu istnienia funkcji potencjału. Potencjał zdefiniowano jako superpozycję potencjału fali inicjującej oraz potencjału perturbacji spowodowanej istnieniem obiektu przy dnie. Wyniki rozwiązań teoretycznych porównano z wynikami doswiadczeń przeprowadzonych w Wielkim Kanale falowym w...

Application of Vertical Reed Beds as a Buffer for Effluent from SBR ANAMMOX Treatment for Reject Water from Centrifugation
PublicationThe main purpose of this study is to determine the removal efficiency of nitrogen compounds in the effluentfrom ANAMMOX process used to treat reject water after centrifugation. A pilot model was bulit consisting of fourdifferent Treatment Wetlands beds with different filter substrate and with or without macrophytes growth. Verticalsubsurface flow type filters have been choosen thanks to their highest efficiency in NH4-N removal...

Infrared techniques for natural convection investigations in channels between two vertical, parallel, isothermal and symmetrically heated plates
PublicationThe effect of the gap width between two symmetrically heated vertical, parallel, isothermal plates on intensity of natural convective heat transfer in a gas (Pr = 0.71) was experimentally studied using the balance and gradient methods. In the former method heat fluxes were determined based on measurements of the voltage and electric current supplying the heaters placed inside the walls. In the latter, heat fluxes were calculated...

Theoretical consideration of free convective heat transfer from a round isothermal plate slightly inclined from the vertical
PublicationA semi-analytical solution of simplified Navier-Stokes and Fourier-Kirchhoff equations describing free convective heat transfer from a round isothermal surface slightly inclined from the vertical is presented. The solution is based on the assumption, typical for natural convection, that the velocity component normal to the surface is negligibly small in comparison to the tangential one. Next we neglect the nonlinear inertia force...

Spatial and vertical distribution analysis of heavy metals in urban retention tanks sediments: a case study of Strzyza Stream
PublicationConcentrations of seven heavy metals (HMs): Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, and Fe in core samples of bottom sediments from four retention tanks (RTs) located along the Strzyza Stream in northern Poland (Gdansk) were measured to obtain a general view of sediment quality. The recognition of contamination and potential environmental impacts is the main aim of this paper. A total of 96 sediment samples were collected from eight sampling sites...
