An ultrasonic flowmeter for gases by Donald A. Bender, Leon R. Glicksman, Carl R. Peterson.
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1984, 1984)
An ultrasonic flowmeter is developed for use in natural gas mains. The characteristics of the application and the dynamic head device presently employed are described. The performance requirements, design, and prototype ...
The development of a curb valve flow meter for gas theft detection
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1984, 1984)
As the supply of natural gas continues to dwindle, and government decontrol of pricing progresses, the rising cost of this essential natural resource will drive more individuals to consider various forms of pilferage as a ...
An evaluation of joint repair methods for cast iron natural gas distribution mains and the preliminary development of an alternative joint seal
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984, 1984)
Approximately 10 percent of the natural gas pumped into distribution systems is unaccounted for. A significant portion of this amount is leakage from joints in 50 to 100 year old cast iron main. Because of the cumulative ...
Computer optimization of dry and wet/dry cooling tower systems for large fossil and nuclear power plants
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-02)
There is a projected shortage of water supply for evaporative cooling
in electric power industry by the end of this century, Thus, dry and
wet/dry cooling tower systems are going to be the solution for this
problem. ...
Forced cooling of underground electric power transmission lines : design manual
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1978, 1978)
The methodology utilized for the design of a forced-cooled pipe-type underground transmission system is presented. The material is divided into three major parts: (1) The Forced-cooled Pipe-Type Underground Transmission ...
Heat conduction in the cable insulation of force-cooled underground electrical power transmission systems
(MIT Energy Lab, 1974)
Forced-cooled systems for oil-filled pipe-type cable circuits have
recently been considered. In such systems the conduction resistance
through the paper insulation of the cables is the limiting thermal resistance. ...
Heat rejection from horizontal tubes to shallow fluidized beds
(MIT Energy Lab, 1974)
As fluidized beds can result in an order of magnitude increase in
the heat transfer coefficinet for a surface, they can potentially be
coupled with dry cooling towers for power plant heat rejection. On
such a large ...
Energy conservation: a case study for a large manufacturing plant
(MIT Energy Lab, 1974)
The methods of formulating, implementing, and evaluating a
conservation program in a commercial building or light industrial
plant are examined in this paper. The results of one case study
are also presented.
In ...
Ultrasonic flowmetering with reflected pulses
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Energy Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984, 1984)
A transit time type ultrasonic flowmeter was tested with two different reflected pulse trajectories in flowing air at ambient conditions against an orifice meter. The flowmeter was designed to be highly accurate, to require ...
Advanced wet-dry cooling tower concept
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1977-01)
The purpose of this years' work has been to test and analyze the new dry cooling tower surface previously developed. The model heat transfer test apparatus built last year has been instrumented for temperature, humidity ...
