Lower Granite Fish Guidance Efficiency System Model Study?Snake River, Washington
With the annual migration of adult salmon up the Columbia and Snake Rivers and the migration of their offspring (juvenile salmon) downstream to the ocean, new problems have developed with...
An Update on the U.S. DOE Ocean Energy Program
This paper summarizes recent research accomplishments of the program and provides a synopsis of planned activities leading to a Net Power-Producing Experiment (NPPE), to be conducted at...
Ocean Energy Activities in Europe
This paper reviews European research and development in wave energy, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), and ocean tidal power. For each technology, a country-by-country summary (in...
Theoretical Study on Capture Chamber with Lateral Entrance
A capture chamber with lateral entrance can be used in a pneumatic wave energy conversion system. In this paper, the output power coefficients of the capture chamber have been calculated...
Wave Power Development in Taiwan
The feasibility study of wave power development in Taiwan was performed in two phases. The first phase included the calculation and assessment of the available wave energy along the coasts...
Use of Scrap Tires to Harness Wave Energy
A 2.5 meter diameter wave powered pump, fabricated from scrap tires was tested from May 24, 1988 to October 1988 in the Atlantic Ocean at the North Carolina Army Corp of Engineers Waterways...
Pre-Experiments of OTEC Experimental Facility for Ocean-Based Mariculture-OTEC Pilot Plant Houyou
The ocean-based mariculture-OTEC pilot plant 'HOUYOU' was completed in March, 1989 and the at-sea test in Toyama Bay was carried out from July 18th until September...
OTEC's subsurface discharges of Deep Ocean Water: Modelling Their Effects on the Primary Production
The French project of a shore-based OTEC pilot plant (5 MW) at Tahiti gave the opportunity of simulating the ecological effects of a small, man-made upwelling in coastal-tropical oligotrophic...
A 250 KW Closed Cycle Land Based Ocean Thermal Energy Plant
The paper describes the design of a 250 KW land based closed cycle Ocean Thermal Energy Plant suitable for installing at Keahole Point in Hawaii. The work is being done for ALCAN International....
Overview: Steam-Water Phase Change in OTEC Systems
This paper presents an overview of the thermodynamics and the heat and mass transfer processes occurring in OTEC systems utilizing seawater as the working fluid....
Seawater Experimental Results of Direct-Contact Condensation for OC-OTEC Applications
Tests of a direct-contact condenser (DCC) for open-cycle ocean thermal energy conversion systems (OC-OTEC) have been conducted using seawater and exchanging up to 1.25 MWth...
Noncondensable Gas Composition and Outgassing Rates in the Open-Cycle OTEC System with Direct-Contact Condensation
This paper will present the results of recent measurements of noncondensable release from an open-cycle ocean thermal energy conversion (OC-OTEC) system in a direct-contact condensation...
De-Aeration and Re-Injection of Noncondensable Gases in Open-Cycle OTEC
Non-condensable gas exchange characteristics in seawater and fresh water are compared and contrasted. The higher rate of exchange observed for these gases in seawater is incorporated in...
Carbon Dioxide Release from OTEC Cycles
This paper presents the results of recent measurements of CO2 release from an open-cycle ocean thermal energy conversion (OC-OTEC) experiment. Based...
Ocean Energy Recovery
This proceeding of the International Conference on Ocean Energy Recovery held in Honolulu, Hawaii from November 28-30, 1989 consists of thirty-eight papers. These papers explore various...
A Seawall for Sea Mammals
With glass walls only 75 ft from Lake Michigan, an aquarium addition demanded solid seawall protection. Yes, in a strange twist of logic, the first step in creating a whale habitat for...
Patterns of Erosion Along the Atlantic Coast
Shoreline erosion data are needed in the implementation of recent legislation that authorizes the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to provide advance insurance payments for the...
The Coastal Breach at Nauset Beach, Chatham, Massachusetts?A Case Study
Nauset Beach, a barrier spit separating Pleasant Bay from the Atlantic Ocean at the town of Chatham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, breached in a severe storm on January 2, 1987. The breach...
Coastal Barrier Resources Act Report to Congress
The Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) of 1982 established a system of 186 coastal barriers along the U.S. coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, and prohibited within this...
