      The North Anna Power Station (3 proposed nuclear units with a total capacity of 2820MWe) is located in the State of Virginia about 41 miles northwest of Richmond. The plant condenser heat dissipation system consists of a ...

    • Comparison of Cooling Lake Mathematical Models for Mount Storm Lake 

      Adelaja, Olutoyin M.; Adams, E. Eric (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, MIT, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-03)
      Mt. Storm Lake is an impoundment of the Stony River that provides cooling for the three-unit electric generating station which is owned by Virginia Power. The lake is relatively deep and narrow with a submerged intake and ...

    • A Coupled Heat, Salt and Water Balance Model of Evaporation and Stratification in Saline Terminal Lakes: An Application to the Dead Sea 

      Salhotra, Atul Mohan; Adams, E. Eric; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986-04)
      A time varying, one-dimensional, coupled heat, salt and water budget model is developed for a hypersaline water body in which the vertical stability depends on the opposing influences of temperature and salinity stratification. ...

    • Entrainment in Diffusive Thermohaline Systems: Application to Salt Gradient Solar Ponds 

      Atkinson, Joseph F.; Adams, E. Eric; Melville, W. Kendall; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, MA. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-12)
      The development of a numerical model for simulating the temporal evolution of vertical temperature and salinity profiles in a salt gradient solar pond is described. The model uses a mixed-layer approach and a general ...

    • Eulerian-Lagrangian Analysis of Pollutant Transport in Shallow Water 

      Baptista, Antonio E. de M.; Adams, E. Eric; Stolzenbach, Keith D. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-06)
      A numerical method for the solution of the two-dimensional, unsteady, transport equation is formulated, and its accuracy is tested. The method uses a Eulerian-Lagrangian approach, in which the transport equation is divided ...

    • Final Calibration of the Cooling Lake Model for North Anna Power Station 

      Ho, Edmond K.; Adams, E. Eric (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-08)
      The North Anna Power Station is a two-unit power plant located on Lake Anna and operated by Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO). A complex cooling lake system, involving a diked-off portion of Lake Anna - known as ...

    • Hydraulic Model Study of Seawater Purging for the Boston Wastewater Outfall 

      Adams, E. Eric; Sahoo, Dipak; Liro, Christopher R. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrodynamics and Coastal Engineering, MIT, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-04)
      A 1:83 hydraulic scale model was built to study the mechanism of seawater purging in the tunneled outfall that will convey effluent from MWRA's Secondary Treatment Plant on Deer Is. out into Massachusetts Bay. Purging ...
