In the work presented are the results of investigations regarding the effectiveness of operation of power plant fed by geothermal water with the flow rate of 100, 150, and 200 m3/h and temperatures of 70, 80, and 90 ?C, i. e. geothermal water with the parameters available in some towns of West Pomeranian region as well as in Stargard Szczecinski (86.4 ?C), Poland. The results of calculations regard the system of geothermal power plant with possibility of utilization of heat for technological purposes. Analyzed are possibilities of application of different working fluids with respect to the most efficient utilization of geothermal energy. .

Dynamics of the Abra alba muddy fine sand community of the Rance Basin (western English Channel), initially sampled in one station by Retière at the beginning of the 1970s after the tidal power station built at the mouth of the estuary went into service, was reassessed from 1995 to 1997. Results showed a more ‘mature’ community in 1995–1997 with an increase in the number of species. After a short period, in spring 1995, during which the structure of the community was comparable to those described in 1972–1973, the assemblage was characterized by a great interannual structural stability. Densities of dominant species seem to fluctuate around a mean value comparable to the carrying capacity of the biota for these species. The recruitment of the dominant species with a long life span appears low compared to the densities of adults but seems sufficient to assure the replacement of individuals. Our results suggest that the pattern of massive recruitment followed by high mortality rates could not be the general rule and that a pattern of moderate recruitment followed by low post-settlement mortality of recruits should be more frequent.

Fuel dispenser is an integrated fuel pumping and metering system for automotive refueling at the service station. In this paper, we develop a preset refueling mode for the dispenser. A frequency converter and the flow rate signal from the measurement transducer are utilized instead of the solenoid valve, which is used to control the flow rate in the traditional refueling mode. With variable speed pumping system, the rotational speed of the pump is adjusted to achieve the desired flow rate and head necessary for the application. All the experiments were operated on a real dispenser system. How the frequency influences the refueling accuracy is observed. Through choosing a suitable frequency, not only accuracy but also energy efficiency improves compared with the traditional refueling mode. It is able to provide a reference for authority to fill in gaps in low-quantity (less than 5 L) refueling.



This paper reviews, on a world-wide basis, the production from hydro-electric installations and forecasts which have been made of potential water-power resources. Various types of development are described. It considers how hydro-electric resources can best be used in an interconnected electricity supply system with thermal and nuclear generation, including pumping to assist in the economic use of other fuels. Hydro-electric development in the United Kingdom is briefly described. The availability of tidal energy is reviewed, and reference made to the Ranee Tidal Power Station in France.
