Application of a 2-D particle tracking model to simulate entrainment of winter flounder larvae at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989, 1989)A 2-D random walk model, developed by Dimou (1989) as part of this research project, was used to simulate entrainment at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station of winter flounder larvae hatched within Niantic River. -
Buoyant jet behavior in confined regions
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)Previous confined jet studies have emphasized the behavior of non-buoyant jets inside ducts or near plane boundaries (Coanda effect). Buoyancy, however, is a major factor in the confined jet behavior experienced in many ... -
Coupled near and far field thermal plume analysis using finite element techniques
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)The use of the open cycle cooling process for thermal power plants requires significant effluent discharges into aquatic environments. Both engineering and environmental considerations require accurate prediction of resulting ... -
Economic implications of open versus closed cycle cooling for new steam electric power plants : a national and regional survey
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-09)Current and anticipated thermal pollution regulations will prevent many new steam electric power plants from operating with once-through cooling. Alternative cooling systems acceptable from an environmental view fail ... -
An environmental and economic comparison of cooling system designs for steam-electric power plants
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-01)The selection of waste heat rejection systems for steam-electric power plants involves a trade-off among environmental, energy and water conservation, and economic factors. This study compares four general types of ... -
Eulerian-Lagrangian analysis of pollutant transport in shallow water
(Cambridge, Mass. : Energy Laboratory and R.M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984, 1984)A numerical method for the solution of the two-dimensional, unsteady, transport equation is formulated, and its accuracy is tested. -
Mathematical predictive models for cooling ponds and lakes. Part B, User's manual and applications of MITEMP. Part C. A transient analytical model for shallow cooling ponds
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-12)In Part B a computer code, '"MITEMP: M.I.T. Transient Temperature Prediction Model for Natural Reservoirs and Cooling Impoundments," is presented as a feasible and efficient tool for the prediction of transient ... -
Modeling the release of CO2 in the deep ocean
(Cambridge, Mass. : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991, 1991)The idea of capturing and disposing of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the flue gas of fossil fuel-fired power plants has recently received attention as a possible mitigation strategy to counteract potential global warming due ... -
Near field performance of staged diffusers in shallow water
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-04)Submerged diffusers are commonly used to dilute condenser cooling water from coastal power plants. A staged diffuser, in which the diffuser centerline is perpendicular to shore and the nozzles are direc- ted essentially ... -
Physical and numerical modeling of the external fluid mechanics of OTEC pilot plants
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1982, 1982)This study examined the near field external fluid mechanics of symmetrical OTEC pilot plant designs (20-80 MWe) under realistic deep water conditions. The objective was to assess the environmental impact of different plant ... -
Predicting circulation and dispersion near coastal power plants : applications using models TEA and ELA
(MIT Energy Lab, 1987)This report describes how a pair of two-dimensional numerical models (TEA and ELA) have been coupled to simulate thermal plume dispersion in the vicinity of coastal power plants. The work follows previous study by ... -
Research on the external fluid mechanics of ocean thermal energy conversion plants : report covering experiments in a current
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)This report describes a set of experiments in a physical model study to explore plume transport and recirculation potential for a range of generic Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant designs and ambient conditions. ... -
Waste heat management in the electric power industry : issues of energy conservation and station operation under environmental constraints
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-12)Over the past three years, the Energy Laboratory, in cooperation with the R.M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics at M.I.T. has been under contract with DOE/ECT to study various water and waste ...
