The Influence of Coupled Thermomechanical Processes on the Pressure and Temperature due to Cold Water Injection into Multiple Fracture Zones in Deep Rock Formation by Bruno Figueiredo, Chin-Fu Tsang, Auli Niemi

“…A technique to produce geothermal energy from deep rock formations at elevated temperatures consists of drilling two parallel deep boreholes, the second of which is directed so as to intersect a series of fractures produced by hydraulic fracturing in the first borehole. Then, the first borehole is used for injection of cold water and the second used to produce water that has been heated by the deep rock formation. …”

Eichhornia crassipes Efficacy in Secondary Wastewater Treatment in the Western Highlands of Cameroon by Amandine Elodie Manekeu Tanetsa, Martin Lekeufack, Marcelle Léonce Edzigui Tsimi, Gabriel Nicodème Tsetagho, Raoul Carmel Longniang, Théophile Fonkou

“…Each lagoon system was supplied with primary-treated domestic wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant of the University of Dschang, Cameroon, at a hydraulic loading rate of 1.13 m3/day. Monthly wastewater samples were collected from the inflow and outflow of each lagoon for physicochemical and bacteriological analyses, and plant growth was assessed biweekly for six months spanning the dry and rainy seasons. …”

Study on the crack propagation morphology and initiation law of coal rock under the action of underwater electric pulse by XianKai Bao, Bin Jiang, GuangQin Cui, XiaoFan Zhang, Tong Zhang, Wu Zhang

“…Abstract Based on the symmetric initiation mechanism of double-wing cracks in coal rock mass induced by high-pressure electro-recoil water pressure, fracturing experiments have been performed on coal rock mass under different water pressures and discharge conditions using high-voltage electric pulse hydraulic fracturing devices. Combined with CT scans, the crack spatial distribution inside the post-break coal rock mass was analyzed and found that the edge of the water injection hole is prone to produce double-wing cracks along the drilling hole diameter. …”
