These landfills are referred to as elevated temperature landfills (ETLFs). ETLFs require increased monitoring and management. A recently published landfill heat accumulation model identified reactions that contribute significant heat to landfills\, including the hydration and carbonation of Ca-containing wastes such as ash. Model predictions were based on published information on reaction thermodynamics and kinetics. However\, there is limited data on heat evolution from ash. This study aims to develop laboratory methods to measure heat evolution from Ca-containing ash under landfill-relevant conditions (presence of water and abundance of CO2). A semi-adiabatic reactor system was developed. The reactor consists of four major parts: an insulated container (dewar flask)\, insulation\, a sample container\, and a center channel to hold a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is connected to a data acquisition device (LabJack). The reactor is characterized for heat loss so that temperature data during ash reaction can be used to calculate the rate and extent of heat generation. Reactor characterization involves the determination of two parameters; the coefficient of heat loss and the thermal capacity. Validation experiments were conducted by measuring heat evolution from the hydration of pure CaO and the carbonation of pure Ca(OH)2 and comparing those to theory. In the case of Ca(OH)2\, a continuous stream of N2/CO2 was provided\, and the CO2 uptake was compared to theoretical expected uptake. Heat evolution and CO2 uptake data were used to calculate the heat generation rate. This heat and rate will be used to better parameterize models of heat generation and accumulation in landfills. The coefficient of heat loss and thermal capacity was measured to be 105 J‧hr-1‧K-1 and 1200 J‧K-1\, respectively. The validation experiments yielded an efficiency between 103 and 106% for hydration and between 104 and 107% for carbonation\, respectively. Work is in progress to parameterize the landfill model. \nBiography: Asmita Narode is a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Morton Barlaz at NC State. Her work focuses on measuring heat generation from ash that is disposed of in landfills. She completed her undergraduate in Civil Engineering in India and her M.S. in environmental engineering at Georgia Tech. Before starting her Ph.D.\, Asmita worked for a consulting firm.

Improved sediment transport relations for vegetated flows become fundamental for predicting sediment transport rates through aquatic coastal ecosystems. We investigate suspended sediment transport under flow-vegetation hydrodynamics in oscillatory boundary layers. We conduct experiments in a U-shaped oscillatory tunnel using optical techniques\, including 2D and 3D particle image velocimetry. We explore how aquatic plants change the near-bed and in-canopy hydrodynamics from the single-plant scale to the vegetation patch scale. For a single plant\, we study the effect of vegetation morphology (shape and biomechanics) on the turbulence characteristics. We focus on the vegetation drag at the canopy top and near the bed to explore the flow-vegetation hydrodynamics. For sediment experiments\, we evaluate the impact of vegetation on the suspended sediment transport mechanisms. These various boundaries inform for a better assessment of the role of aquatic vegetation as eco-engineers in wave-dominated environments. \nJorge San Juan is a postdoctoral associate at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory in the Department of Civil\, Environmental\, and Geo-Engineering at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
