The marked movement of utilizing Oregon's water power
in the service of generating electric current, has been promoted
by the economics in transmission of electricity to distances
both great and small; by the harnessing of industrial
implements to electric power; and by the advancement and extension
of interurban railways.

This simulation is a model for a tidal power-peaking plant that
can be used to determine the electrical peaking generation for a given
set of conditions.
The simulation internally contains a tide producing function
for a specific year, the hydraulic characteristics of the plant, and the
plant's machines' characteristics. The...
The proposed hydraulic power plant, incorporated
under the name of, "Minem Light and Power Company",
is located on the Minam River, about two miles above
the junction of the Minam and Wallowa Rivers. This is
about three miles above the county highway bridge which
is on the Wallow River, this...
The 1979 incident at Three Mile Island drew attention to weaknesses in the capability to obtain and analyze reactor coolant
samples in an environment where the reactor core incurs significant
damage. As a result, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission promulgated regulations requiring that reactor coolant analytical capabilities be upgraded so...
The goal of this study is the modeling of a postulated break
of the steam line at the containment penetration of the Trojan
Nuclear Plant which is owned and operated by Portland General
Electric. To perform this modeling, the RETRAN computer code
package was utilized. RETRAN is designed to provide...
This report presents the study of wood combustion and
combustion systems for a combined cycle wood-fired power
plant. The power plant consists of a twin air cycle and a
single steam cycle. The fuel for this power plant is wood
and wood waste with particle size in the range of...
There is an increasing demand for marine space from many different economic sectors in the German coastal and exclusive economic zone: sand and gravel removal, wind farms, fisheries, shipping or oil and gas exploration. Additionally, the Natura 2000 directive requires the declaration of areas for nature con-servation. Opposite to other...
The OSU/APEX thermal hydraulic test facility models the passive safety systems
of the Westinghouse AP600 advanced light water reactor design. Numerous experiments
have been performed to test these systems, the one of focus here is the station blackout
scenario. This experiment simulated the complete loss of AC power to all...
