OTEC--Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion--currently requires a large floating platform and a 1000-metre-long, large-diameter pipe to supply deep ocean cold water. The design of the pipe in this system requires the development and application of analysis procedures to determine the response of the coupled platform pipe system to sea loadings. This paper discusses the development of the analysis procedures and the results of the application of these procedures to several pipe designs which appear feasible for an OTEC-1 MW power plant system.

An ocean-based, 1-MWe (gross) test plant has been planned to establish the feasibility of OTEC (ocean thermal energy conversion) power generation in the revised Sunshine Project. The preliminary design of the proposed test plant employs a closed-cycle power system using ammonia as the working fluid on a barge-type platform with a rigid-arm-type, detachable, single-buoy mooring system. Two types each of titanium evaporators and condensers are to be included. The steel, cold-water pipe is suspended from the buoy. The design value of the ocean temperature difference is 20 K. The paper presents an overview of the preliminary design of the test plant and the tests to be conducted.

Tube wall analysis on unsteady network flow of pipe shows that the column is separated when it reached to vapor pressure. In this study, we experiment dynamic behavior of fluid distribution pipe system. The model used in is a straight suspended pipe, which is striked by a solid steel bar. Then the results of pressure change in different parts of pipe has been studied and compared with valid results.
