Utilization And Examination Of A Mass Consistent Wind Flow Model, Joanne M. Carrol
Utilization And Examination Of A Mass Consistent Wind Flow Model, Joanne M. Carrol
Wind Energy Center Masters Theses Collection
MATHEW, a mass consistent wind flow model is applied to given areas in Princeton and Windsor, Massachusetts for the purpose of determining wind flow fields in those areas and examining the HATIIEW program itself. The MATHEW model which was originated by Sherman at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories to give a three-component time-independent nondivergent wind velocity field. The model has been verified by its creators and is accepted as a valid method for calculating wind fields. A description of the model is given. The analytic foundation of the model is elucidated, the numerical technique is described and the architecture of the MATHEW …
Optimizing Output Power Of A Variable Speed Synchronous Generator By Controlling Excitation And Load Restistance, Michael George Edds
Optimizing Output Power Of A Variable Speed Synchronous Generator By Controlling Excitation And Load Restistance, Michael George Edds
Wind Energy Center Masters Theses Collection
Since 1973 the University of Massachusetts Energy Alternatives Program has been involved in a project, the UMASS Wind Furnace (WF-1) which is directed at supplying the heating needs of households in northern climates. This project had as its inception an attempt to design and build fiberglass rotor blades. Since then the combined efforts of students and faculty from many engineering departments have produced a facility whose purpose is the study of wind and solar energy for useful purposes. The current Wind Furnace Model (WF-1) utilized a wind-driven electromechanical system to generate electrical energy. This energy is then dissipated through resistance …
Mathematical Modeling Of The Dispersion Of Air Pollutants From Highways, Wesley P. Bauver
Mathematical Modeling Of The Dispersion Of Air Pollutants From Highways, Wesley P. Bauver
Wind Energy Center Masters Theses Collection
This work discusses the theory of the HIWAY and California Line Source highway air pollution dispersion models and describes the EPA emissions model which is used to provide emission factors for these models. A parametric study of the dispersion models is performed to show the effect of the various inputs to these models on predicted pollutant concentrations. These results indicate certain cases in which one model should be used instead of the other. These models are used to perform air quality, environmental impact assessments of two highway projects in Massachusetts. Mesoscale Analyses are also performed for these highways. Advances in …
