An Overview Of Potential Impacts Of Changing Petroleum Energy Prices On Grain Farms, Jean-Paul Chavas, James B. Kliebenstein
An Overview Of Potential Impacts Of Changing Petroleum Energy Prices On Grain Farms, Jean-Paul Chavas, James B. Kliebenstein
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
Since the early 1970s world fossil fuel energy prices have risen dramatically. Assuming there is no significant breakthrough in en- ergy technology, the world will see further increases in energy prices. These changes will likely lead to economic adjustments in U. S. agriculture. A firm level linear programming model is used to evaluate what some of these adjustments could be on a Missouri grain farm. To obtain expected energy price affects on production mixes, energy prices are changed parametrically. Potential crop adjustments are from corn to single-crop soybeans to wheat as energy prices increase. Fertilization adjustments are from chemical to …
The Impact Of Changing Net Returns On Minimum Energy Requirements For Grain Farms, James B. Kliebenstein, Robert M. Finley, Douglas C. Farthing
The Impact Of Changing Net Returns On Minimum Energy Requirements For Grain Farms, James B. Kliebenstein, Robert M. Finley, Douglas C. Farthing
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
With sources of energy more restricted and higher priced, optimal combinations of enterprises must logically be considered on the basis of energy efficiency. One method of ascertaining this efficiency is to optimize solutions for given levels of income on the basis of energy used (e.g., the objective function was in terms of energy kilocalories). In general, soybeans were most feasible at lower levels of income regardless of farm size and labor circumstance. As income levels increased, double-cropping (wheat soybeans) was first substituted and finally corn at highest income levels.
Low Head Power Generation With Bulb Turbines, J. L. Carson, R. S. Samuelson
Low Head Power Generation With Bulb Turbines, J. L. Carson, R. S. Samuelson
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
Because of uncertainties, delays, and high costs associated with alternative electric energy sources, many agencies responsible for generation of electrical power are investigating means of replacing or supplementing their existing hydroelectric facilities. In the head range between 10 and 60 feet, the bulb-type generating unit, in which the generator is enclosed in a metal capsule within the water passage, has many advantages, including higher efficiency and lower cost, over other types of turbines. Two of the municipalities in the United States which have recently conducted feasibility studies for installing bulb turbines in their systems are the City of Idaho Falls, …
Improving Energy Efficiency By Federal Regulation, Barry Hyman, Burns E. Hegler
Improving Energy Efficiency By Federal Regulation, Barry Hyman, Burns E. Hegler
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
This paper examines the scope and nature of federal activities devoted to improving the efficiency of energy utilization in buildings, consumer products, motor vehicles, and industrial processes and equipment. Several forms of regulation are identified and their characteristics are explored. It is postulated that consistency of an overall policy of energy efficiency regulation can be ascertained from the examination of a regulatory policy matrix.
Heat Recovery Devices For Building Hvac Systems, Ronald H. Howell, Harry J. Sauer Jr.
Heat Recovery Devices For Building Hvac Systems, Ronald H. Howell, Harry J. Sauer Jr.
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
The opportunities and advantages of air-to-air heat recovery are described. The five basic types (rotary regenerative, coil loop run around, open run-around, heat pipe, and plate type) are described and their typical performance is presented. The potential savings in operating costs as well as initial equipment costs for common applications are presented.
A Systems Study Of Our Energy Problems, S. C. Lee
A Systems Study Of Our Energy Problems, S. C. Lee
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
The diminishing supply of petroleum and natural gas has induced many concerned citizens as well as many interest groups to study energy problems. Based on different sources of information and various degrees of economical consideration, conflicting conclusions have been reached. To help resolve this situation, a systems study was conducted. The available statistics on the supply and demand of energy were examined. The resources of nuclear energy, fossil fuel, and renewable energy sources were analyzed. Considerations were weighted equally on energy content, resource availability, existing technology, and consumer economics as well as on the impact of ecology and sociology. The …

Energy And National Security, William A. Myers Iii
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
On April 18 of this year, the President of the United States made a television address to the American people on the subject of energy. It was a somber talk. He described the energy situation facing this nation as "the greatest challenge that our country will face during our lifetimes" with the exception of preventing war. He went on to say that our efforts to deal with the energy crisis must be the "moral equivalent of war", and that the alternative to those efforts "may be a national catastrophe."
President Carter's talk was not the first Presidential energy message. There …
The Impact Of Regulation Upon The Oil And Gas Industries, Lee Carter
The Impact Of Regulation Upon The Oil And Gas Industries, Lee Carter
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
It is paradoxical that the oil and gas industries both ask for and resist the idea of regulation. Historic examples are given of how and why this is so. Since the Arab oil crisis of 1973, new and onerous rules for domestic producers have been introduced, first by improvization and more recently by a national energy plan. Both the good and bad features of the 1977 national energy plan are reviewed to generate words of commendation and words of warning about its effect on the oil and gas industries.
Energy Conservation -- Statewide Efforts In Oklahoma, Wayne C. Turner, Joe H. Mize, Richard G. Hill
Energy Conservation -- Statewide Efforts In Oklahoma, Wayne C. Turner, Joe H. Mize, Richard G. Hill
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
Most states have recently exerted considerable effort toward designing comprehensive energy conservation plans. This paper describes Oklahoma's experience and the resulting plans. The State Energy Conservation Plan (SECP), Supplemental State Energy Conservation Plan (SSECP), and Energy Extension Service Plan (EES) are emphasized. Other state wide programs are discussed.
Agricultural Crop Drying And Space Heating Using A Solar Energy Intensifier, M. A. Hellickson, W. H. Peterson, S. E. Saienga, J. L. Julson
Agricultural Crop Drying And Space Heating Using A Solar Energy Intensifier, M. A. Hellickson, W. H. Peterson, S. E. Saienga, J. L. Julson
UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy
A solar energy-intensifier-thermal energy storage system was developed and tested under actual climatic conditions in South Dakota. Performance characteristics of the system are presented for its use in drying shelled corn and for agricultural space heating. Comparisons between solar and conventional drying between solar supplemented and conventional heating are reported.

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project
The regional scope of this study (a three state area of approximately 33,000 square miles) necessitated an initial investigation to determine what data was available. Known and potential sources of data were identified through the use of the Environmental Data Reconnaissance Report* prepared by Comitta Frederick Associates for the United States Depart-ment of the Interior in March 1976. The collected data was then analyzed for its accuracy, reliability, mappability and compatibility with the scope of this study.
