  2. Life-cycle assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_assessment

    The first stage, which incorporates the feedstock or fuel production and processing and fuel delivery or energy transmission, and is called the "upstream" stage, while the stage that deals with vehicle operation itself is sometimes called the "downstream" stage. The well-to-wheel analysis is commonly used to assess total energy consumption, or ...

  3. Life-cycle engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_engineering

    Life cycle engineering is defined in the CIRP Encyclopedia of Production Engineering as: "the engineering activities which include the application of technological and scientific principles to manufacturing products with the goal of protecting the environment, conserving resources, encouraging economic progress, keeping in mind social concerns, and the need for sustainability, while optimizing ...

  4. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    The upstream and downstream portions must be modeled separately with an initial depth of 9.21 m for the upstream portion, and 0.15 m for the downstream portion. The downstream depth should only be modeled until it reaches the conjugate depth of the normal depth, at which point a hydraulic jump will form.

  5. Stochastic empirical loading and dilution model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_Empirical...

    The documentation data include information about the analyst, the project, and the analysis. The site and region data include the highway-site characteristics, the ecoregions, the upstream-basin characteristics, and, if a lake analysis is selected, the lake-basin characteristics. The hydrologic data include precipitation, streamflow, and runoff ...

  6. Environmental impact of reservoirs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    Analysis of temperature profiles from 11 large dams in the Murray Darling Basin (Australia) indicated differences between surface water and bottom water temperatures up to 16.7 degrees Celsius. [24] If this water is released to maintain river flow, it can cause adverse impacts on the downstream ecosystem including fish populations. [25]

  7. ISO/TC 67 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/TC_67

    ISO/TC 67 is responsible for developing and maintaining international standards in the worldwide upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas industry and related lower carbon energy activities. Its role encompasses the harmonisation of standards for facilities, equipment and operations used for drilling, production, pipeline transport and ...

  8. Configuration management database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_management...

    CMDBs can be used for many things, including but not limited to: business intelligence, software and hardware builds, inventory, [4] impact analysis for change management, [5] and incident management. In the context of ITIL, the use of CMDBs is as part of infrastructure operations and support. The CMDB represents the authorized configuration of ...

  9. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    The upstream volumetric flow rate is lower than the downstream condition because of the higher upstream density. The choked velocity is a function of the upstream pressure but not the downstream. Although the velocity is constant, the mass flow rate is dependent on the density of the upstream gas, which is a function of the upstream pressure.
