Behavior of buoyant moist plumes in turbulent atmospheres
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)A widely applicable computational model of buoyant moist plumes in turbulent atmospheres has been constructed. To achieve this a one dimensional Planetary Boundary Layer (P.B.L.) model has been developed to account for ... -
Buoyant jet behavior in confined regions
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)Previous confined jet studies have emphasized the behavior of non-buoyant jets inside ducts or near plane boundaries (Coanda effect). Buoyancy, however, is a major factor in the confined jet behavior experienced in many ... -

Cogeneration in the U.S. : an economic and technical analysis
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1978-11)Traditionally, only space heating and transportation have consumed more fuel than industrial process steam generation. Several recent studies have examined electricity and industrial steam supply and have recommended ... -
Common cause analysis : a review and extension of existing methods
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1982, 1982)The quantitative common cause analysis code, MOBB, is extended to include uncertainties arising from modelling uncertainties and data uncertainties. Two methods, Monte Carlo simulation and the Method-of-Moments are used ... -

Comparative evaluation of cooling tower drift eliminator performance
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1977-06)The performance of standard industrial evaporative cooling tower drift eliminators is analyzed using experiments and numerical simulations. The experiments measure the droplet size spectra at the inlet and outlet of the ... -
Comparing advanced energy cycles and developing priorities for future R&D
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1978-07)This report lists and discusses the types of information that are necessary for making decisions about the allocation of R&D funds among various electric power related energy technologies. The discussion is divided ... -
The comparison of available data on PWR assembly thermal behavior with analytical predictions
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-02)The comparison of available data with analytical predictions has been illustrated in this report. Since few data on the cross flow are available, a study of parameters in the transverse momentum equation were performed to ... -
