 Civil Engineering Research Journal-Juniper Publishers   Abstract In this literature review paper, undergraduate senior Civil Engineering students from California State University, Northridge, under the supervision of Dr. Tadeh Zirakian and Dr. David Boyajian, introduce a research on orifice meter and its applications in real life while analyzing the effect of variables, such as flow, velocity, pressure, and volume. Orifice flow meter is the most commonly used device for gas flow measurement. For a most accurate measurement, the orifice meter should be applied to gas flows, which are steady or vary slowly with time, are in the turbulent flow region, and are well below sonic velocity. The gas should be single phase and not contain suspended particles. Availability of sufficient permanent pressure loss is a requirement for any head-measuring device and must be considered in its application. Completion of this virtual research achieved several educational endeavors, namely enabli...

 Civil Engineering Research Journal- Juniper Publishers   Abstract Desert sand is subject to deflation. During the construction and operation of railways in the sandy desert, deflation leads to filling the railway track with sand, as well as to soil erosion. To prevent this phenomenon, a binder is sprayed onto the surface of the sand. The penetration of the working composition of the binder into the sand is accompanied by an uneven distribution of the substance, which is proposed to characterize the saturation coefficient. The features of the interaction of the binder and sand from which the protective crust is formed are revealed. Impregnation occurs under the predominant influence of gravitational or capillary forces. The latter allows you to have a uniform distribution of the substance. Preliminary wetting can reduce the pore space of sand and change the nature of the transfer of matter to capillary, which as a result allows obtaining resource-saving technology for fixing m...

 Civil Engineering Research Journal- Juniper Publishers   Abstract The research is devoted to individual environment-friendly vehicles, which can be used in the street-road network of settlements. Are analyzed the benefits that accrue from the use of such vehicles in the areas of medicine, the environment, the economy, and the social sphere. The examples of individual vehicles, the most common of which is a bicycle, are presented. Are formulated particularities of such modes of transport and the requirements that must be applied to the infrastructure for comfortable and safe driving by them. Keywords: Individual environment-friendly vehicles, Street and road network, Design principles. Abbreviations:  IEFV – individual environment-friendly vehicles, SRN – street and road network. Go to Introduction The settlements infrastructure development, aimed at satisfying, first, the needs of motorists, is accompanied by powerful negative changes in the conditions of human life [1]....
