For steady-state models, the fixed head cell values should be the actual values and remain constant during the flow simulation. Used the value of initial hydraulic head for the cells that defines active cells in the last column in model equals to 29.7 m as fig (4-5)[] , while the active cells used 27.6 m where used value of minimum surface water elevation of Tigris river to begin toward a solution. [] . Either the fixed cells that represent the river used three values different in three scenarios , where used minimum , average , and maximum water surface elevation of Tigris river in three scenario . Tthe model simulated for three scenarios based on the values of elevation water of Tigris river in minimum , average , and maximum [].
Scenario 1 : used the values was 27.6 m
Scenario 2 : used the value was 28.7 m, and
Scenario 3 : the value 29.8 m was used .

When the best match between observed and calculated values was found. The calibration target can also be achieved by automated parameter estimation or manual adjustment by trial and error procedure . The steady state model was recalibrated using seven7 head well data at different locations as fig (4-4), that obtained from previous studies .the steady- state model was calibrated by adjusting the hydraulic conductivity with manual trial and error method . Where calibration took more of 70 runs to determine suitable hydraulic conductivity for reaching to the minimum error between the observed and calculated heads.

    The valves were set up so that the water would flow from Tank 2, through the ½” nominal diameter, type L copper pipe, through the needle valve WV5 (Appendix A), and back to Tank 2. WV5 was initially closed. The Honeywell STD 924 DP meter’s pressure tap lines were placed at PT 1, just before the P-1 Sterlings Fluid System Peerless Pump PE50B1, and PT 10, just after WV5. A Fluke 179 multimeter was attached to the DP electrical box. The multimeter was set to read electrical signal in the form of DC current with units of mA.…

Invisible dangerous pathogens and microorganisms may be present in pools that aren’t treated properly and can result in harmful side effects like swimmers ear or diarrhoea. Disinfectants are used to treat pools and chlorine is by far the most commonly used. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the substance that sanitises these swimming pools (De La Matter, 2012).…

    This report will discuss multiple experiments regarding chemical equilibrium. Chemical equilibrium is when both reactants and products are both equal to each other. If one is not equal to each other, than the direction of shift will move to where equilibrium has been tampered with. Throughout all the labs, we observed that with different chemicals we have different directions of shift.…

    This experiment determined how solute concentration affected the rate of osmosis in a cell and the outside environment. Three pieces of dialysis tubing were used as three different cells, each filled with different solute concentrations. Each one of the cells was placed in one of three beakers that were filled with tap water. The masses of each of these cells before being placed in the beakers, and afterwards in ten minute intervals for an hour. The percent difference between the initial mass and the mass at each of the ten minute intervals was calculated in order to show the results.…

    “Crusades Through Arab Eyes” by Amin Maalouf The great Crusade started in the second half of the 11th Century after Pope Urban II appealed to followers to reconquer the Holy Land from Muslims. Most Turks had converted to Islam, which was a concern for Alexios who was the Byzantine emperor of the Middle East region. The first war was to retake the Holy Land from Muslims, but it was realized that the Crusaders (or the Franj as referred by Muslims) had other intentions of conquering the territory of the Muslims. The book “Crusades Through Arab Eyes” tries to portray a different vantage point from an Arab-Muslim perspective.…

    Competetion exist because of interest, values, actions, status, objectives and other needs. Sometimes competetion is purposly created because of job specification needs (Bisno, 1988). But more importantly is with every problem, crisis, or conflict, there is a possiblity of success and failure. It is important to identify, nurture and harvest the success seeds as it is the responsibilities of the crisis management (Augustine, 2000). Conflict is natural, not positive and not negative, and it is an effect which cannot be avoided as a result of a natural process for change and development (Messman & Mikesell, 2000).…
