and Potomac Electric Power Co

This may have a significant impact upon the benefits and requirements of existing reuse applications and/or make the previously less attractive projects worth reconsidering

the accuracy of Simplex based flow measurements is known to be negatively impacted affected by a number of commonly occurring flow conditions including high flow velocity

Three companies have cooperatively developed a structural frame system for industrial cooling towers using pultruded FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) profiles as a substitute for lumber to improve the durability

Cooling tower failure can cost an industrial plant thousands of dollars in lost production in a matter of hours

14-23: Structural Modification of a Power Plant’s River Water Intake to Thermal Performance and Potomac Electric Power CoA numerical study was conducted to evaluate design alternatives to alleviate ice accumulation at the river intake. A numerical model to predict the ice transport and accumulation at the river intake was developed and validated. The model was used to understand the main phenomenon leading to ice transport and accumulation. This paper will describe the use of the model to analyze the effectiveness of mitigation measures. A mitigation plan consisting of
