This book explores one of these energy alternatives, ocean thermal energy conversion. William H. Avery, the leading researcher in this field, describes the workings of an OTEC power plant and addresses how such a power source might be implemented for national use. 410 0$aJohns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory series in science and engineering. 606 $aOcean thermal power plants 615 0$aOcean thermal power plants. 676 $a621.31/244 700 $aAvery$b William H.$01614728 702 $aWu$b Chih$f1936- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826594303321 996 $aRenewable energy from the ocean$93944646 997 $aUNINA
