Traces Some past events offer the historians who study them an embarrassment of riches. The archives of a successful company or an influential US president can easily fill a building, and distilling them into an authoritative book can consume decades. Other events leave behind only the barest traces—scraps and fragments of records, fleeting references by contemporary observers, and shadows thrown on other events of the time—and can be reconstructed only with the aid of inference, imagination, and ingenuity.

  • A Mean-Line Model to Predict the Design Performance of Radial Inflow Turbines in Organic Rankine Cycles
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA INDUSTRIALE CORSO DI LAUREA MAGISTRALE IN INGEGNERIA ENERGETICA TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN INSTITUT FÜR ENERGIETECHNIK Tesi di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Energetica A MEAN-LINE MODEL TO PREDICT THE DESIGN PERFORMANCE OF RADIAL INFLOW TURBINES IN ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLES Relatori: Prof. Andrea Lazzaretto Prof.ssa Tatjana Morozyuk (Technische Universität Berlin) Correlatore: Ing. Giovanni Manente Laureando: ANDREA PALTRINIERI ANNO ACCADEMICO 2013/2014 ii Abstract This Master Thesis contributes to the knowledge and the optimization of radial inflow turbine for the Organic Rankine Cycles application. A large amount of literature sources is analysed to understand in the better way the context in which this work is located. First of all, the ORC technology is studied, taking care of all the scientific aspects that characterize it: applications, cycle configurations and selection of the optimal working fluids. After that, the focus is pointed on the expanders, as they are the most important components of this kind of power production plants. Nevertheless. Their behaviour is not always wisely considered in an organic vision of the cycle. In fact, it has been noticed that mostly literature concerning the optimization of ORC considers the performances of the expander as a constant, omitting in this way an essential part of the optimisation process. Starting from these observations, in this Master Thesis radial inflow turbines are carefully analysed, performing a theoretical investigation of the achievable performance. Starting from a critical study of publications concerning the design of radial expanders, a theoretical model is proposed. Then, a design procedure of the geometrical and thermo dynamical characteristics of radial inflow turbine operating whit fluid R-245fa is implemented in a Matlab code.

NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circular series continues a series that has been in existence since 1941. The Circulars are technical publications of general interest intended to aid conservation and management. Publications that review in considerable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research appear in this series. Technical papers originating in economics studies and from management in- vestigations appear in the Circular series. NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circulars arc available free in limited numbers to governmental agencies, both Federal and State.

  • Scott M. Melvin Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Field Headquarters, Rt
    STATUS OF PIPING PLOVERS IN MASSACHUSETTS - 1992 SUMMARY Scott M. Melvin Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Field Headquarters, Rt. 135 Westborough, MA 01581 Observers reported a total of 213 breeding pairs of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) at 58 sites in Massachusetts in 1992 (Table 1) . Breeding pairs are defined as pairs observed with either a nest or unfledged chicks or that exhibit site tenacity and evidence of pair bonding and territoriality. Observer effort in 1992, measured as number of sites surveyed and intensity of census effort at each site, was roughly comparable to previous efforts since 1986. In at least 2 instances, pairs that nested unsuccessfully were believed to have moved to new sites and renested. These pairs were included in counts of pairs at both sites where they nested, but were counted only once in the overall state total (Table 1). Also not included in the state total were 2 birds seen for only 3 days at fisbury Great Pond on Martha's Vineyard, and a single bird that was present at Cockeast Pond in Westport. The 1992 total of 213 pairs is the highest count of Piping Plovers recorded in Massachusetts since comprehensive statewide surveys began in 1985, and represents an increase of 53 pairs over the 1991 count of 160 pairs (Table 2). Numbers increased in 6 bf 7 regions of the state; only Martha's Vineyard/Elizabeth Islands decreased by 1 pair. The largest increases came on the Lower Cape (from 50 to 84 pairs in 1991 vs. 1992) and the Upper Cape (from 21 to 32 pairs).
