Economic implications of open versus closed cycle cooling for new steam electric power plants : a national and regional survey
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-09)Current and anticipated thermal pollution regulations will prevent many new steam electric power plants from operating with once-through cooling. Alternative cooling systems acceptable from an environmental view fail ... -
An environmental and economic comparison of cooling system designs for steam-electric power plants
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-01)The selection of waste heat rejection systems for steam-electric power plants involves a trade-off among environmental, energy and water conservation, and economic factors. This study compares four general types of ... -
Near field performance of staged diffusers in shallow water
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-04)Submerged diffusers are commonly used to dilute condenser cooling water from coastal power plants. A staged diffuser, in which the diffuser centerline is perpendicular to shore and the nozzles are direc- ted essentially ... -
Waste heat management in the electric power industry : issues of energy conservation and station operation under environmental constraints
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-12)Over the past three years, the Energy Laboratory, in cooperation with the R.M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics at M.I.T. has been under contract with DOE/ECT to study various water and waste ...
