Waste-to-energy compendium. Final report (open access)

Waste-to-energy compendium. Final report

A survey is made of 35 waste-to-energy recovery projects throughout the US. Included are nine refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production facilities, six RDF user facilities, two combined RDF production-user facilities, and 18 mass burning facilities with energy recovery. Only those facilities that are fully operational or those in advanced stages of startup and shakedown are surveyed. Information is provided on processing capacities, operation and maintenance problems, equipment specifications, capital and operating costs, and the current status of each facility. In addition, process flow schematics are provided for each of the nine RDF production plants and both RDF production-user plants. Unless otherwise indicated, the data in this report have been updated to October or November, 1980.

Water flows from slotted pipes (open access)

Water flows from slotted pipes

Results of experiments and analyses that determine jet flow distribution from slotted pipes of dimensions typical for OC-OTEC evaporators or condensers are described. For a pipe with a 6.3-cm inside diameter and 0.64-cm wide slot, the measured and predicted jet flow was low and nearly parallel to the pipe at the entrance, and high and perpendicular to the pipe only near the closed end. Slot lengths ranged from 1.5 m to 4.6 m, and inlet flow rates varied from 6 kg/s to 17 kg/s. Friction reduces the pressure in the entrance and intermediate portions of the pipe, while the rapidly decelerating flow produces high pressure recovery as it approaches the closed end. In the region of high flow next to the closed end, the ratio of slot area (slot length times width) to pipe cross-sectional area is less than two. To use a slotted pipe for generating falling jets in an OC-OTEC plant, the slot length should be 1 m or less (for a pipe with a 6.3-cm inside diameter and a 0.64-cm wide slot).

Water inflow into boreholes during the Stripa heater experiments (open access)

Water inflow into boreholes during the Stripa heater experiments

During the operation of three in-situ heater experiments at Stripa, Sweden, groundwater flowed into many of the instrumentation and heater boreholes. These flows were recovered and measured routinely. The records of water inflow indicate two origins: inflow attributed to local hydrological pressure gradients, and water migration from cracks closing under the rapidly increasing, thermal-induced stress changes. The latter component appeared as a main pulse that occurred when the heaters were turned on, and lasted about 30 to 40 days, steadily declining over the next several months, and decreasing sharply when heater power was decreased or stopped. The magnitude of the total inflow per hole ranged over more than five decades, from 0.1 to over 10,000 liters over the 500 to 600 day time periods. When plotted against the logarithm of total volume, the frequency distribution displays a normal curve dependence with a mean of approximately 10 liters. Of this amount, 1 to 2 liters of flow into 38-mm-diam boreholes accompanied an increase in applied heat load. These amounts are compatible with rock porosities of a fraction of one percent. Inflow into the 3.6 and 5.0 kW heater holes peaked within 3 to 6 days after heater turn on, then declined …

Wilsonville SRC-I pilot plant: I. Fractionation area corrosion studies; II. Hot vs. normal separation mode of operation (open access)

Wilsonville SRC-I pilot plant: I. Fractionation area corrosion studies; II. Hot vs. normal separation mode of operation

Extensive corrosion studies in solvent recovery columns have been done with different coals (mainly Kentucky number 9 Lafayette, Dotiki and Fies). Sodium carbonate (0.1 to 1.1% of coal) was added as neutralizer to control corrosion rate. Chloride balance runs were made for isolation of corrosive streams with high chlorine content. A caustic wash program of inlet streams has been developed for selective treatment of corrosive streams as an alternative means for possible replacement of sodium carbonate addition. High chlorine content coals such as Kentucky number 9 Lafayette and Dotiki (0.2 to 0.3%) were very corrosive, compared to low chlorine content coal, Kentucky number 9 Fies (< 0.1%). Sodium carbonate addition (0.6 to 0.7% of coal) reduced corrosion rate from 500 MPY to an insignificant level of less than 5 MPY. Caustic wash of solvents could reduce corrosion rate by 50%, removing most corrosive compounds present in the 440 to 480/sup 0/F boiling fraction. Extensive studies for the hot separator mode of operation have been done as a means of saving substantial energy by elimination of dissolver slurry cooling (0.3 MM Btu/hr) and reheating for solvent recovery (1 MM Btu/h). Impacts of the hot separator mode on plant operability, product quality …

Wind loads on flat plate photovoltaic array fields. Phase III, final report (open access)

Wind loads on flat plate photovoltaic array fields. Phase III, final report

The results of an experimental analysis (boundary layer wind tunnel test) of the aerodynamic forces resulting from winds acting on flat plate photovoltaic arrays are presented. Local pressure coefficient distributions and normal force coefficients on the arrays are shown and compared to theoretical results. Parameters that were varied when determining the aerodynamic forces included tilt angle, array separation, ground clearance, protective wind barriers, and the effect of the wind velocity profile. Recommended design wind forces and pressures are presented, which envelop the test results for winds perpendicular to the array&#x27;s longitudinal axis. This wind direction produces the maximum wind loads on the arrays except at the array edge where oblique winds produce larger edge pressure loads.
