Muskingum Flow Routing Using Personal Computers
The paper discusses how tedious computations involved in flow routing can be easily implemented on Personal Computers. Parameter estimation and routing calculations for both linear and...
A Hybrid Model for Storage Routing Through Rock Dumps
Construction of permeable structures across stream channels results in temporary impoundment of flood waters upstream of such structures. This happens because the hydraulic conveyance...
Sedimentation Impacts on a Pumpback Storage Facility
Concern over future sedimentation impacts at a proposed pump storage hydroelectric facility at Lake Francis Case on the Missouri River led to use of a numerical model to analyze lake hydrodynamics....
Nonlinear Axisymmetric Uplift of Circular Plates
A formulation of a method of analysis of the nonlinear axisymmetric response of the bottom plate of a liquid storage tank under uplifting forces is presented. At first, the plate is assumed...
Stability of Cylindrical Shells With and Without Cutouts and Subjected to Wind Load
The cylindrical storage tanks with and without cutouts are analyzed using nonlinear finite element analysis. All the cylinders are fixed at the base. Two types of cylindrical tanks without...
Detecting Underground Piping Leaks
Most leaks from underground liquid storage systems occur in the piping rather than the tank itself. The piping system is the most vulnerable component of the system, requiring great care...
Sewers Get a Breath of Fresh Air
Domestic sewage pump stations and treatment facilities have long been plagued by corrosion and odor problems caused by hydrogen sulfide. It is also extremely toxic. Sulfide production...
Experiences in Pneumatic Wave Energy Conversion in Japan
Several prototype and model studies of pneumatic wave energy conversion systems are discussed. These include those of the floating platform KAIMEI, the fixed system at Sanze and the new...
Prototype Wave Power Stations in Norway
The KVAENER multi resonant oscillating wave column (MOWC) power station is both described and discussed. The power station, which is now on-line, is designed to produce 1 MW of peak electrical...
A Comparative Study of Two Capture Chamber Geometries
Results of an experimental study of two capture chambers are presented. The capture chamber geometries are those that have been either used or recommended in conjunction with pneumatic...
Studies With, and Testing of the McCormick Pneumatic Wave Energy Turbine With Some Comments on PWECS Systems
Work done in developing concepts for pneumatic wave energy conversion based on theoretical analyses of the hydrodynamic, pneumatic, and mechanical systems with some estimates of performance...
Converted Wave Energy Transmission, Storage and Integration
Results of a number of full-scale studies of transmission, storage and integration of electricity resulting from wave energy conversion are discussed. These studies involved the floating...
Economic factors of Wave Energy Conversion
The paper provides some insights into the institutional setting in which power marketing is conducted (in the United States). It presents some approaches to economic evaluation that might...
Optimal Strategies for Phase Control of Wave Energy Devices
Phase control has previously been proposed for increasing energy output from wave power devices, and latching strategies have been tested for point absorbers and for pneumatic devices....
Water Supply System Rehabilitation
This report was prepared to assist practicing engineers meet the challenge of rehabilitating old drinking water systems, many of which have been in existence for over 100 years and are...
Utilization of Ocean Waves?Wave to Energy Conversion
This collection of papers reviews both the state of the art in pneumatic wave energy conversion and the associated peripheral technologies, such as capture chamber research and design,...
Bright Lights Over China
The financing for Guangdong province's newest 700 mw coal fired electric power station came from a syndicate of 46 banks from 11 countries. The steel for the turbine generators...
Ocean Energy: Can It Compete?
Electric power plants using ocean energy are technically viable, but they tend to be cost-prohibitive. A study commissioned by the Electric Power Research Institute and carried out by...
