Hydrothermal Model Study of Stratified Flow in a Power Plant Cooling Water Recycle/Intake Canal: Reynolds and Densimetric Froude Number Effects
During the winter of 1983-1984, the control of frazil ice at the trash tracks using pneumatic air guns was evaluated at Danskammer Point Generating Station. This paper presents a brief...
Frazil Ice Control Using Air Guns
The design of the J. H. Campbell, Unit 3, Cooling Water Intake in the late 1970's used some new ideas and concepts in response to a strong concern for fish protection at a...
Laboratory Studies for the J. H. Campbell, Unit No. 3, Cooling Water Intake Design
A three-year study sponsored by the Empire State Electric Energy Research Corporation was conducted to determine the overall efficiency of a full-scale angled screen demonstration facility...
Biofouling Control of Water Intake Structures
Biofouling of water intakes can affect condenser performance and availability. This paper discusses four biofouling control technologies: thermal backwash, antifouling coatings, chlorination,...
Personal Computers and Water Network Simulation
The advent of the 16 bit or larger personal computer has the potential for significantly increasing the availability of a powerful tool for hydraulics engineers. In the past, the understanding...
Water Distribution Systems Analysis and Graphics Using Microcomputers
In recent years, microcomputers have been increasingly employed in the analysis of water distribution systems. In addition to being used for hydraulic analysis, they can also be used to...
Hydro Power Intake Design?Criteria and Experience
This paper briefly addresses parameters to be considered in hydro power intake designs. Included are design approaches and criteria, specific examples, and applicable references. Concerns...
Intakes for Low Head Hydro Plants
The design of hydro intakes is usually based on a desire to achieve low intake losses and an acceptable approach flow distribution to the turbine. Generally, velocities in the intake canal...
Fish Diversion in Hydropower Intake
Hydraulic model studies were conducted to develop a fish screening system to be used in the turbine intakes of Priest Rapids Development on the Columbia River, Washington. The system studied...
Water Supply Intake Structures on Western Rivers
Many of the problems experienced with water supply intake structures on western rivers result from a failure to mitigate the effects of moving sediments. Shallow but varying flow depths...
Vortices at Vertical Intakes
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation designed to predict the formation of weak, free-surface vortices at vertical intakes with a headrace channel. A weak vortex...
Use of a Spreadsheet in a Water Distribution System Analysis
Spreadsheet programs such as MULTIPLAN can be used for many, if not most, of the small design oriented problems for which programs using high level programming languages such as FORTRAN,...
Hydraulic Study Requirements for Bulb Type Hydropower Units at a Navigation Lock and Dam
A replacement Lock and Dam at Alton, Illinois on the Mississippi River is presently under construction. This paper presents the results of studies performed for adding six bulb type hydropower...
Karnafuli Hydroelectric Project, Hydraulic Model Studies of Spillway Damage
The Karnafuli Hydroelectric Project is located in Bangladesh. On August 13, 1961, distress was noted in the spillway flow. A special Board of Consultants considered possible causes for...
Make-up and Blowdown of a Cooling Pond
A mathematical model was developed to simulate the operation of a recirculating cooling pond for a planned nuclear power plant in the Midwest. The objective of the pond operation is to...
A Microcomputer Program for River Sedimentation
Erosion and deposition of sediment in rivers causes numerous problems. In order to describe this process, both the hydraulic properties of the river and the mechanics of sediment transport...
Water System Analysis?Modeling Hydraulics
The work described in this paper is part of the planning and design effort for expanding and improving the water supply system for St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. The parish is...
Hydraulics of Broad Crested Weirs
The paper presents a general, basic discussion of the title subject. It begins with a definition for the broad crested weir and analytical concepts. Subjects covered subsequently include...
Velocity Distribution Factor Constraints
It has been customary to introduce the velocity distribution factors alpha and beta into the energy and momentum equations so as to avoid the integration associated with variations in...
Series Finished Water Pumping Facilities
The paper discusses studies and design of series finished water pumping facilities for the Potomac River Water Treatment Facilities. Detailed hydraulic studies were conducted which concluded...
