KU opens energy research office to find campus fuel alternatives
By HAROLD CAMPBELL
Staff Renorter
In a local response to the nation's working energy situation, Robert Riordan, a consultant at the University Office, was hired this summer to direct energy research and conservation at the university.
Riordan, program director of applied energy research and public service, said Monday that he thought the energy future of China would be shaped on a basis of alternative energy sources.
Robert Riordan
"It will take a mixture of several different types of energy sources to help our energy system function properly, but think that there is one energy source that will solve their problems. But there is one energy source that will not."
Before coming to KU June 1, I riandor worked nine months in the Kansas Energy Office in Topeka monitoring energy use at universities and doing energy research.
The campus energy research office, jointly funded by the KU Center for Energy and Climate Studies and graduate studies, does not set University energy policies or define energy policies.
THE OFFICE, which receives part of the $1,142,075 marked for graduate research, has appointed Ms. Browne as secretary, but Niorian said he expected to add several research and graduate positions.
David C. Kraft, dean of the School of Engineering and director of the research center, said the University's energy policies were formed by Chancellor Dykes.
However, Kraft said, "I feel the new energy research office is absolutely worthwhile in giving some direction to energy research here."
Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said she though the new office would be a place for ideas about energy to come together.
The energy research office now is involved with oil recovery and solar and wind energy programs.
ONE ENERGY PROJECT in progress on the KU campus is the use of solar panels at Stouffer Park.
Riordan said the solar energy program at
Stouffer Place was the only working example of energy research on campus.
The project, implemented last year at a cost of $350,000, uses about 3.54 square feet of solar panels to heat a 1,000 gallon water heater. The laundry room in Room Building One.
The project is a joint effort of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Honeywell Corporation.
Riordan also is conducting a study to determine the feasibility of constructing a wood-burning power plant at KU.
with one of the programs the office is involved with is the Tertiary Oil Recovery Program, a five-year-old program sponsored by the laboratory of chemical and petroleum equipment.
ACCORDING TO RIOR丹, the purpose of the statewide program is to find methods of obtaining hard-to-get oil from old wells.
Don Green, program co-director and professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said two methods were used to set such oil out of the ground.
First, chemical detergents are pumped into an oil well to release trapped oil. Then carbon dioxide mixed with oil is pumped into the well to release it.
However, Green said no single method of
orring up trapped oil had been completely successful.
Holdroff Rosson, program co-director and researcher at the University of Virginia's engineering, has been involved in project using cellulose products, such as plant stalks, trees and agricultural waste, to convert waste into energy.
TO CHANGE THE CELLULOSO product into a fuel, heat and pressurized carbon monoxide or hydrogen are mixed with the plant stalks.
"The fuel we get from cellulose probably won't refine into gasoline," Rosson said. "What we do get is a synthetic fuel with a high energy content like coal."
Another project that KU is involved in, and one that Riordan sees as being beneficial to Kansas, is a new wind energy center in Kansas. Flipped Winds Test Center in Denver, Colo.
Riorian also does research with the Kansas Energy Office. Riorian and several graduate assistants are conducting an acoustic government buildings in eastern Kansas.
The audit, expected to be completed within the next four months, is in response to a request from Riordan said. The audit will determine which building needs federal funds to install.
Riordan said $12 million was available to Kansas under the act.

its of the building clear during public events.
Although no firefighting equipment would be brought to the Field House, firemen would keep in constant radio contact with each other and the police. It could be reported quickly. McSeain said.
Russ Collins, assistant state fire marshal, said the Field House would pass state inspection once the seven corrections were made.
Collins described the seven points as very simple. "They can be met with no problems."
Temple said he did not expect any problems in meeting the suggestions.
"We would do everything possible to follow the program," he said.
