Could the OTEC system be modified to absorb excessive heat from the cooling towers of Nuclear Power Plants and or the spent fuel rod storage pools ? Such a system MIGHT have a Return On Investment and MIGHT be able to power a safe shut down in an emergency with or without diesel generators. All of which can present some very real problems and the OTEC may very well be a viable solution.
Hey, great thinking. I don’t know much about nuclear. But I’m curious, the excessive heat, is it a constant thing or intermittent, and at what rate? And what is the temperature?
@@Yev371 als je naar Borsele belt en vraagt hoeveel m³ afgewerkte stoom ze per uur van resttemperatuur x naar water temperatuur y condenseren en je gaat uit van een maximale omgevingstemperatuur van 50 graden Celcius( op een zwart plat dak in de zomer) dan kan je toch verder?
@@nofekun1889 I'm assuming by absorbing the heat from the water to turn into electrical power? It would be nice if we didn't need a temperature difference to absorb heat and turn it into electrical power, but no, we need the system to "flow" from hot to cold. So, some of the heat is captured and converted into electrical power, while the rest of the heat is pushed into the cooler, deeper water.
Not really. it largely depends on the hydrodynamic design and modeling of the in-out-plumes. The study was done on a pilot plant that’s being build in Martinique and the warming of surface layer was found negligible.
Respected sir, If these system is applied in ocean a number of times, then wil the natural temperature difference in ocean be at risk and it may disturb ocean environment and other living creatures etc.?
Unfortunately, I can not answer this question. You should contact Berend Jan Kleute, contact details are available on this website: www.oceanenergy.tudelft.nl/thermal-gradient-otec/. Kind regards, Mark
How much m^3 of sea water at 20-deg difference is required to generate 1kW? What is the allowable and attainable temperature rise (heat loss) between inlet and outlet of deep sea pipe?
Calculations show that the energy loss from pumping is far less than the energy gain from the heat used to expand the working fluid with the low boiling point.
amazing video and graphics ...thank you so much sir , greetings from India
Best explanation!😁

Love the idea. Does it ultimately 'warm' the ocean. Is this a significant 'fallout' from the process?
It cools down the surface, warms up the deep. Overall, it cools the ocean down slightly.
@@beback_ tf? how?

The model is available on redslibrary website
The pump that is used to channel warm and cold water to generator, which energy they used to function?
Would this work in the Persian Gulf? Or is that too shallow?
This is helpful for us👌👌👌
Simply superb👌👌

yess
The amount of energy exchanged is not geologically significant... I hope.
This increases ocean bottom temperature

What is the allowable and attainable temperature rise (heat loss) between inlet and outlet of deep sea pipe?
At 1000m depth, with temp 25C to 5C, warm water has T delta of ~2C and cold water ~2.5C
@@Yev371 no sure I get that. Advice?
Use formula for Q=mcp(delta T), answer is 11.94 m^3. Sorry for late reply :)
@@diazdenmarcd can you explain what Q, mcp is and their units.
Couldnt this methode be used to counteract the global warming of the sea water? And produce electricity in the proccess?
Thank you.
awesome
I think it is not worthwhile. Because still we need energy to pump the water from the sea
Umer Ashraf ....why u r pumping the water ..u can put amonium fluid boiler on see nly ..that mean their is no pumping of water
Calculations show that the energy loss from pumping is far less than the energy gain from the heat used to expand the working fluid with the low boiling point.
👍👍👍
Wow
Can be better
