    • Modelling of Unidirectional Thermal Diffusers in Shallow Water 

      Lee, Joseph H.; Jirka, Gerhard H.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977-07)
      This study is an experimental and theoretical investigation of the temperature field and velocity field induced by a unidirectional thermal diffuser in shallow water. A multiport thermal diffuser is essentially a pipe laid ...

    • Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Plants: Experimental and Analytical Study of Mixing and Recirculation 

      Jirka, Gerhard H.; Johnson, R. Peter; Fry, David J.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Civil Engineering, 1977-09)
      Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a method of generating power using the vertical temperature gradient of the tropical ocean as an energy source. Experimental and analytical studies have been carried out to determine ...

    • Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Emergency Heat Releases from Floating Nuclear Power Plants 

      Jirka, Gerhard H.; Wood, Duncan W.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975-11)
      A combined analytical and experimental study is made of the hydrodynamic and heat transport aspects of transient heat releases during emergency cooling operations at floating nuclear power plants located in protective ...
