Seasonalepisodic control of acid deposition
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988, 1988)This report contains the climatological, technical and economic factors for episodic and seasonal control of emissions in existing power plants. Analyzing a large data set of acid deposition for the years 1982-85, we find ... -
Secondary atomization of coal-water fuels for gas turbine applications
(MIT Energy Lab, 1988)The main research objective is to determine the effect of coal-water fuel (CWF) treatment on atomization quality when applied to an ultrafine coal water fuel (solids loading - 50%) and at elevated pressures. The fuel ... -
The selective use of thorium and heterogeneity in uranium-efficient pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1982, 1982)Systematic procedures have been developed and applied to assess the uranium utilization potential of a broad range of options involving the selective use of thorium in Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) operating on the ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Energy Laboratory., 1978-07)This report presents the results of a sectoral demand analysis for photo- voltaic power systems used in the residential sector single family homes], the service, commercial, and institutional sector [schools] and in ... -
Shale oil : potential economies of large-scale production, preliminary phase
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-06)Producing shale oil on a large scale is one of the possible alternatives for reducing dependence of the United States on imported petroleum. Industry is not producing shale oil on a commercial scale now because costs ... -
Shale oil : potential economies of large-scale production, workshop phase
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-07)A workshop on shale oil, sponsored by M.I.T., was held on June 4-5, 1979. The purpose of the workshop was to identify technological opportunities for significant reduction in the cost of producing shale oil on a large ... -
Shale oil recovery systems incorporating ore beneficiation : final report, October 1982
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1982, 1982)This study analyzed the recovery of oil from oil shale by use of proposed systems which incorporate beneficiation of the shale ore (that is, concentration of the kerogen) before the oil-recovery step. The objective was to ... -
