Calibration and Verification of the Cooling Lake Model for North Anna Power Station: During the Period July 1978 - September 1981
(Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Sciences and Environmental Engineering, Dept. of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982-03)The North Anna Power Station (3 proposed nuclear units with a total capacity of 2820MWe) is located in the State of Virginia about 41 miles northwest of Richmond. The plant condenser heat dissipation system consists of a ... -
Automatic Parameter Estimation of a Large Conceptual Rainfall-runoff Model: A Maximum Likelihood Approach
(Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resources Systems, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982-03)A stochastic parameter estimation procedure to be applied to large conceptual rainfall-runoff models is proposed. The procedure is based on a maximum likelihood approach, which is enhanced to allow for the use of prior ... -

(Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981-03)Section 1:This report presents the hierarchy of sub-problems involved in modelling the demand for conjunctive use. An historical description of the development of conjunctive user irrigation and a review of current policy ...
