Abstract

Fourteen popular, representative infiltration models, some physically based, some semi‐empirical and some empirical, were selected for a comparative evaluation. Using the Nash and Sutcliffe efficiency criterion, the models were evaluated and compared for 243 sets of infiltration data collected from field and laboratory tests conducted in India and the USA on soils ranging from coarse sand to fine clay. Based on a relative grading scale, the semi‐empirical Singh–Yu general model, Holtan model and Horton model were graded respectively as 6·52, 5·57 and 5·48 out of 10. The empirical Huggins and Monke model, modified Kostiakov and Kostiakov model were graded as 5·57, 5·30 and 5·22, respectively. The physically based non‐linear and linear models of Smith–Parlange were graded as 5·48 and 5·22, respectively. Other models were ranked lower than these models. All the models generally performed poorly in field tests on Georgia's sandy soils, except the Robertsdale loamy sand. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Melting in screw extruders has been studied extensively, starting with the experimental studies of Maddock and Street in the 1950s. These workers observed a melting model with the solid particles all clumped together in a solid bed. A thin melt film separated the solid bed from the extruder barrel;

In this work, we examine several continuum models for estimating the free energy of solvation. We find statistically that the best overall one-parameter fit depends only on whether there is a hydrogen bond or not. Within the non-hydrogen-bonded set of molecules, a three-parameter fit including molec
