LAYMAN’s Guidebook on how Develop a Small Hydro Site.pdf

Taken from Definition of small hydropower: There is no consensus in EU member states on the definition of small hydropower: Some countries like Portugal, Spain, Ireland, and now, Greece and Belgium, accept 10 MW as the upper limit for installed capacity. In Italy the limit is fixed at 3 MW (plants with larger installed power should sell their electricity at lower prices); in France the limit was established at 8 MW and UK favour 5 MW. Hereunder will be considered as small any scheme with an installed capacity of 10 MW or less. This figure is adopted by five member states, ESHA, the European Commission and UNIPEDE (International Union of Producers and Distributors of Electricity).

Bridge Design Manual - LRFD.pdf

Taken from Implementation: Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is a design methodology that makes use of load and resistance factors based on the known variability of applied loads and material properties. In 1994, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) published the first AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Bridge Design Specifications. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has mandated the use of LRFD for all bridges for which the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiates preliminary engineering after October 2007.

Oil and Gas Production Handbook - An introduction to oil and gas production.pdf

July 15, 2009 · Filed Under Mining Engineering · Comment  · Tags: ,

Taken from Introduction: Oil has been used for lighting purposes for many thousand years. In areas where oil is found in shallow reservoirs, seeps of crude oil or gas may naturally develop, and some oil could simply be collected from seepage or tar ponds. Historically, we know of tales of eternal fires where oil and gas seeps would ignite and burn. One example 1000 B.C. is the site where the famous oracle of Delphi would be built, and 500 B.C. Chinese were using natural gas to boil water.
But it was not until 1859 that “Colonel” Edwin Drake drilled the first successful oil well, for the sole purpose of finding oil.
