Abstract: Worldwide power resources that could be extracted from Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plants are estimated with a simple one-dimensional time-domain model of the thermal structure of the ...

Abstract: Worldwide power resources that could be extracted from the steady-state operation of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plants are estimated using a simple model. This order-of-magnitude ...

Abstract: Elastic stress concentration factors (SCFs) for internally pressurized thick cylindrical vessels with oblique circular crossholes are reported. Results of finite-element analyses for two wall ratios ...
