Design for Variable Frequency Drive Applications
This paper presents fundamental design criteria used to evaluate the operational and economic feasibility of installing a variable frequency drive (VFD) on a petroleum products pipeline....

Energy/Environment Opportunities for Civil Engineers
In the West, Nuclear Facilities Decommissioning; In the East, Implementation of Waste to Energy Systems
The papers in this book examine and provide illustrations for civil engineering opportunities in resolving apparent conflicts between needs for energy generation and environmental acceptability....

A Summary Description of Design Criteria, Codes, Standards, and Regulatory Provisions Typically Used for the Civil and Structural Design of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities
A summary of design criteria, codes, standards, and regulatory provisions applicable to the civil and structural design of the eight principal facilities of the nuclear fuel cycle are...

Measurement Systems in the Hapex-Mobilhy Regional Evapotranspiration Experiment
The HAPEX-MOBILHY (Hydrologic-Atmospheric Pilot Experiment - Modelisation du Bilan Hydrique) regional evapotranspiration experiment was conducted in the south-west of France during the...

Methods for Determining Actual Evapotranspiration in Plots
The major methods used at INRA since 1965 for determining actual evapotranspiration (AET) in plots are reviewed in this paper. These procedures involve either direct determination (weighing...

Visual Estimates of Flume and Weir Operating Conditions
Laboratory studies were conducted on a rectangular broad-crested weir to determine the effects of entrance and exit conditions on the prediction of discharge and required energy loss....

Gas Transfer at Hydraulic Structures
Field measurements of gas transfer at hydraulic structures are notoriously difficult and imprecise. A technique which measures the transfer of hydrocarbon tracer gases has been tested...

Solar Power Satellite - A Re-Visit
The United States should renew activities investigating the production of baseload electrical power for use on Earth from space. Technology change, world events, and the dictates of the...

Air Power Boosts Utility Energy Supplies
Based in part on successful findings of tests, in which compressed air was stored in underground aquifers, Central Illinois Public Service engineers are investigating a type of pumped...

Seismic Risk to Natural Gas and Oil Systems
This paper begins with a brief summary of significant earthquake damage to gas and oil lifeline systems during several earthquakes. Following this discussion, the objectives and major...

Jet Fuel from the Ground Up
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has implemented a multi-million dollar clean up effort to remove oil lenses beneath the bulk fuel farms it maintains at three New York area...

Synthetic Organic Contaminants and Pesticides in Groundwater
