Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (both open and closed cycle) by Coleman, Technical Director Pump Applications May, 1977 - July, 1983 Developed Designs for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (both open and closed cycle systems) based on optimization programs.whereby power system was designed to develop power from temperature difference of surface water and that at a depth of half a mile in tropical oceans.
Floating Nuclear Plant by Coleman as team leader May, 1972 - May, 1977 An analysis of rotor distortions resulting from seasonal temperature variations on a 400ft square barge acting as base for a 1200 MW nuclear power plant moored within a seawall off the coast of NJ for Public Service Gas & Electric Co. of NJ. Rotor of tandem coupled turbines and generator and exciter is approx. 200 ft long with 11 different bearings experiences a seasonal mid span deflection in excess of I inch. Rotor stresses and bearing load variations are evaluated.
Steam Turbine Supports (Don't recall) Inventors: several. Issued May 15, 1970 in Upper Volta Africa System for mounting steam turbine cylinders to achieve thermal stability, alignment and preposition for rotor alignment.
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion both open and closed cycle Published by (Westinghouse ) Authors: coleman, et al. Published March 20, 1978 A series of these reports were issued to our customer (US Dept of Energy) for the years 1978 through 1982.
