Preliminary feasibility study of heating and cooling alternatives for Nebraska Western College, Scottsbluff, Nebraska

Description: The existence of a recently-recognized, low-temperature, geothermal resource under central and western Nebraska represents a potential alternate energy source. The feasibility of using that resource for space heating and cooling at Nebraska Western College, Scottsbluff, Nebraska, as an alternative to that facility's current, natural-gas fired, heating and cooling system is explored. This study addresses: (1) the geological (hydrological) aspects of such a project; (2) the retrofitting requireme… more

Indian Springs School, Big Bend, California

Description: The Indian Springs School building, which was constructed in three phases beginning in the early 1950's, is heated entirely by electric resistance unitary equipment. In addition, a swimming pool is also heated with an electrical resistance device. The construction is characterized by large glass areas (single glaze) and relatively low insulation levels. Together, these facts result in substantial costs for electrical demand and consumption. Two hot springs are located in the Big Bend area exhib… more

Design and operation of a two-phase flow research facility

Description: In this report we describe the new two-phase flow facility that has been constructed at Brown University. Included is the design philosophy that led us to select a blow-down, Freon tunnel as the means of studying the flow of a pure substance undergoing liquid-vapor phase changes. Each component is discussed from the initial design considerations, through sizing calculations, to actual system specifications. Special emphasis is placed on the instrumentation and automatic data acquisition and pro… more
