    • Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Plants: Experimental and Analytical Study of Mixing and Recirculation 

      Jirka, Gerhard H.; Johnson, R. Peter; Fry, David J.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Civil Engineering, 1977-09)
      Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a method of generating power using the vertical temperature gradient of the tropical ocean as an energy source. Experimental and analytical studies have been carried out to determine ...

    • MINEQL: A Computer Program for the Calculation of Chemical Equilibrium Composition of Aqueous Systems 

      Westall, John C.; Zachary, Joseph L.; Morel, Francois M. M. (Cambridge, Mass. : Water Quality Laboratory, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Environmental Engineering sic, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
      Introduction: This report describes the computer program for the computation of chemical equilibria in aqueous systems, MINEQL. The purpose of the report is to present the program in sufficient detail that the reader not ...

    • Staged Diffusers in Shallow Water 

      Almquist, Charles W.; Stolzenbach, Keith D. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976-06)
      The discharge of waste heat from electric power plants into natural water bodies has the potential for adversely affecting the aquatic ecology of the receiving water. Because each discharge site has its own physical and ...
