    • Hydraulic Model Study of Seawater Purging for the Boston Wastewater Outfall 

      Adams, E. Eric; Sahoo, Dipak; Liro, Christopher R. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrodynamics and Coastal Engineering, MIT, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-04)
      A 1:83 hydraulic scale model was built to study the mechanism of seawater purging in the tunneled outfall that will convey effluent from MWRA's Secondary Treatment Plant on Deer Is. out into Massachusetts Bay. Purging ...

    • Comparison of Cooling Lake Mathematical Models for Mount Storm Lake 

      Adelaja, Olutoyin M.; Adams, E. Eric (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, MIT, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-03)
      Mt. Storm Lake is an impoundment of the Stony River that provides cooling for the three-unit electric generating station which is owned by Virginia Power. The lake is relatively deep and narrow with a submerged intake and ...

    • A Physiological Explanation for Vegetation Ecotones in Eastern North America 

      Arris, L. L.; Eagleson, P. S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1989-06)
      Prediction of the vegetative cover of land surfaces as climatic conditions change is an important aspect of general circulation models that has not been adequately explored. In this study, a model is developed for the ...
