The Survival and Growth of Fish in a Settled Industrial-Domestic Effluent
… of organic matter are reviewed. A continuous-flow tank apparatus for long-term toxicity testing of a humus tank effluent (Minworth Sewage Works, Birmingham) is described. The 50 and 95 percentile values of important determinands and the acute lethal toxicity (Brown 1968) were used to describe …

A comparison of thermal storage models with a solar electric generation system using Trnsys
… containing a fully mixed, stratified and a plug flow tank model has been developed such that the inputs and parameter specifications are similar so that all three models could be easily placed into one component type. A single, cylindrical direct storage tank with one inlet and one outlet that …

The Effect of Flow on Burrowing in Juvenile Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia, Unionidae)
… of juvenile mussels were tested in response to flow and substrate in a recirculating flow tank. Two species were compared: a habitat specialist, Lampsilis reeveiana, and a habitat generalist, Lampsilis siliquoidea. Three flow rates were tested: no flow (zero cm per second), low flow (4.6 cm per …

Hydrodynamic and structural constraints on ammonoid shell shape
… ammonoids. This is followed by a discussion of flow tank studies that I conducted to examine the role of shell shape in drag production and power consumption of swimming in ammonoids. It had long been thought that the the shells of chambered cephalopods served as buoyancy compensation devices. …

Effects of the Parasite <em>Microphallus turgidus</em> on the Predation, Swimming Endurance, and Activities of the Grass Shrimp <em>Palaemonetes pugio</em>
… stamina of infected shrimp was examined using a flow tank apparatus. The behavioral activities of infected and uninfected shrimp in the presence or absence of a predator were compared using a scan sampling method. I found that <em>M.</em> <em>turgidus</em>-infected grass shrimp are more …

Bioinspired Robust Underwater Behaviors Using Fluid Flow Sensing
… lateral line sense organ in fish detects fluid flow around its body, and is used to perform a wide variety of behaviors such as rheotaxis, wall-following, prey detection, and obstacle and predator avoidance. Currently there are no equivalent engineering analogues that can sense fluid flow …

Identifying inundation-driven effects among intertidal Crassostrea virginica in a commercially important Gulf of Mexico estuary
… levels of total suspended solids were used in flow tanks. Sediment from the field experiment was sieved into seven size classes, the most common five of which were used in the experiment since they represented 98.8% of total mass. Flow tanks were designed and built that held 12 aged oyster …
