Flashing flow in hot water geothermal wells
Manuel Nathenson
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 743-751
The production characteristics of hot-water geothermal wells which flash to steam-water mixtures in the cased part of the hole were-analyzed. The flashing flow is assumed to be isenthalpic and, for purposes of calculating pressure drop, a finely dispersed mixture of equal average velocity. Water flow in the aquifer is treated...

Sediment characteristics of five streams near Harrisburg, Pa., before highway construction
Lloyd A. Reed
1974, Open-File Report 74-140
Rainfall, streamfiow, sediment, and turbidity data are being collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of highway construction on sediment discharge. The study is also designed to determine the effectiveness of different erosion-control measures in reducing sediment discharges. The study area, near Enola, Pa., consists of five...

Time-dependent spectral analysis of thirty-one strong-motion earthquake records
Virgilio Perez
1974, Open-File Report 74-48
Velocity response spectral analysis as a function of time for 5 percent critical damping is presented for the horizontal components of thirty-one earthquake records (61 components). A nomograph that allows conversion of the velocity response envelope to a displacement response envelope and a pseudo-absolute acceleration response envelope spectrum is also...

Straight line fitting of an observation path by least normal squares
William H. Kirby
1974, Open-File Report 74-187
In curtain hydro graphic problems, and perhaps in other geophysical problems, information must be collected as profiles along straight-line courses. When the inevitable deviations from perfect linearity occur, one must then find the straight line course that best approximates the actual observation path. Classical least squares (regression) does not solve...
Effects of local geology on ground motion in the San Francisco Bay region, California: A continued study
James F. Gibbs, Roger D. Borcherdt
1974, Open-File Report 74-222
Measurements of ground motion generated by nuclear explosions in Nevada have been completed for 99 locations in the San Francisco Bay region, California. The seismograms, Fourier amplitude spectra, spectral amplification curves for the signal, and the Fourier amplitude spectra of the seismic noise are presented for 60 locations. Analog amplifications,...
