This report was prepared by the Solar Energy Panel--a joint
venture of NSF and NASA. "The scope of the Panel's activities
was defined to include all applications of direct solar energy,
as well as power from wind, ocean thermal differences, and useful
energy from replenishable organic materials." Includes conclusions,
recommendations and references.

Applied Science and Technology Index.
New York, Wilson, 1913--

T605 q142

From 1913 to 1957, entitled Industrial Arts Index. With vol. 46, 1958, it was divided into two indexes--Applied Science and Technology Index which continues the old volume number sequence, and Business Periodicals Index. The Applied Science and Technology Index may be used to locate current information on solar energy as it appears in approximately 200 American and English journals.

65 International Aerospace Abstracts.

Phillipsburg, New Jersey, American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics, 1961--

T629.130822 q1612

Issued semimonthly, this abstracting journal covers books, periodicals, papers, and conference proceedings of professional and academic organizations and translation of journals and articles.

Hybrid Solar Energy and Electric Heat Pump. A Paper presented at the 1973 ASME Winter Annual Meeting, November 11-15, 1973. New York, American Society of Mechanical Engineering, 1973.

"This paper presents the results of a study to determine the feasibility of integrating the use of solar energy in an average residence by combining solar flat plate collectors with conventional residential heat pump systems. Savings in energy for the month of January were found to range from 6 to 62 percent depending upon the particular combination of solar collectors, storage capacity, and electric heat pump."

Hildebrandt, A. F. and L. L. Vant-Hull.

A Tower Top Focus Solar Energy Collector. New York, American Society of Mechanical Engineering, 1973.

"Solar energy can be usefully concentrated onto a central receiver
by a large array of independently steered flat mirrors. In order
that the reflected radiation all be intercepted, the central
receiver must be elevated well above the mirror field. A receiver
atop a 450-meter tower can effectively collect the radiation
reflected from a 2.6 km square field of mirrors. By judiciously
spacing mirrors over 45 percent of the area, such a system at
35 deg. N latitude could collect 2700 Mw-Hr-Thermal/day in mid-
winter and about twice this energy in mid-summer."

LaPlante, J.D. and P. R. Smith.

A Competitively Priced Residence for Utilization of Solar Energy.
New York, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1973.

"Unique weather conditions of the southwestern United States
make feasible the construction of a residence which employs
solar energy utilization as an integral part of its design.
Construction techniques utilized today in commercial buildings
are adapted to make such a residence competitive in price with
homes currently constructed by conventional methods. The key
problems in the design of competitively priced solar residences
are the selection of materials and construction methods to ensure
an economical, low heat load structure and the choice of solar
collection devices which are reliable, have low initial cost and
require a minimum of maintenance."
