Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems are increasingly gaining relevance in the renewable and sustainable energy scenario. Recently our research group published a manuscript identifying a new type of thermodynamic cycle entitled Buoyancy Organic Rankine Cycle (BORC) [J. Schoenmaker, J.F.Q. Rey, K.R. Pirota, Renew. Energy 36, 999 (2011)]. In this work we present two main contributions. First, we propose a refined thermodynamic model for BORC systems accounting for the specific heat of the working fluid. Considering the refined model, the efficiencies for Pentane and Dichloromethane at temperatures up to 100 °C were estimated to be 17.2%. Second, we show a proof of concept BORC system using a 3 m tall, 0.062 m diameter polycarbonate tube as a column-fluid reservoir. We used water as a column fluid. The thermal stability and uniformity throughout the tube has been carefully simulated and verified experimentally. After the thermal parameters of the water column have been fully characterized, we developed a test body to allow an adequate assessment of the BORC-system's efficiency. We obtained 0.84% efficiency for 43.8 °C working temperature. This corresponds to 35% of the Carnot efficiency calculated for the same temperature difference. Limitations of the model and the apparatus are put into perspective, pointing directions for further developments of BORC systems.

<p>Anomalies in seismic ambient noise, defined as strong spectral amplification of the vertical components at frequencies of several Hertz, are currently observed on sites located above hydrocarbon reservoirs. If properly understood, these anomalies could have a potential for applications such as geothermal reservoir exploration or underground gas storage monitoring. Under purely elastic modeling, the nature of these anomalies was mainly explained by the geological structure more than the fluid reservoir itself.  The main objective of the present work is to explain the exact origin of the anomalies by numerical simulations of the 3D wave propagation using specfem3D code. The simulated spectral anomalies are essentially static and determined by the typical geological reservoir environments. The effect of an anticline structure, which is a common characteristic of hydrocarbon reservoirs, is investigated using different types of sources. Results show that the spectral anomalies caused by the presence of the anticline structure have similarities with the anomalies observed in real data. More work is needed to extract laws linking geometrical characteristics of the anticline to spectral properties. Future works will also include analysis on real gas storage sites, followed by a transposition to the geothermal field applications, for which more complicated parameters appear to participate to the phenomenon.</p>

Because completely opposite results have been reported on the water permeability of the rabbit descending limbs of Henle's loop (DLH), we rigorously examined water permeability of the upper portion of the descending limb of the rabbit long-looped nephron. Even when the double-cannulation method was used in an attempt to reduce the resistance of tubular outflow, the collected fluid-to-perfusate inulin ratio was equal to or very close to the bathing fluid-to-perfusate osmolality ratio, indicating that osmotic equilibration occurred along the tubule by absorption of water. When perfusion rates were controlled by varying the height of the fluid reservoir connected to the perfusion pipette, osmotic (Pf) as well as diffusional (Pdw) water permeability was shown to be correlated with perfusion rate and/or perfusion pressure. Pf and Pdw at zero perfusion rate as determined from the values of the intercept of regression lines were 253 X 10(-3) and 4.54 X 10(-3) cm X s-1, respectively. The maximal values for Pf and Pdw were 737-1,098 X 10(-3) and 18.3 X 10(-3) cm X s-1, respectively. By changing the resistance to perfusion at the tubular outflow, it was shown that changes in Pf paralleled changes in perfusion rate rather than changes in perfusion pressure. Under stop-flow conditions the luminal fluid volume rapidly decreased after the osmolality of the bathing fluid was increased, suggesting that the segment is highly permeable to water even at zero flow rate. Reflection coefficients for urea and NaCl were 1.01 and 0.82, respectively. These data support the view that this segment is highly permeable to water and that increases in osmolality along the DLH in vivo may be accounted for mainly by abstraction of water rather than addition of solutes.

Hasil penelitian gayaberat di Pulau Biak menghasilkan anomali gayaberat yang dikelompokkan kedalam 2 (dua) satuan yaitu anomali gayaberat 50 mGal hingga 120 mGal membentuk rendahan anomali mencerminkan cekungan. Kelompok anomali gayaberat 120 mGal hingga 220 mGal membentuk tinggian anomali. Pola tinggian anomali sisa 0 mGal hingga 2 mGal diduga sebagai perangkap struktur migas yang terdapat di daerah Kota Biak utara, Mandon dan lepas pantai timur P. Pai. Batuan bertahanan jenis rendah antara 0 - 16 Ohm-meter yang mengindikasikan batuan reservoir jenuh fluida terbentuk di kedalaman 2500 meter. Kedalaman batuan dasar terbentuk antara 7000-8500 meter, dengan rapat massa batuan 2.9 - 3.1 gr/cm3 bertahanan jenis tinggi 1000-8200 Ohm-meter diduga sebagai cerminan dari batuan ultramafik kerak samudera. Batuan yang menyusun di daerah penelitian terdiri atas lapisan batuan Tersier dengan rapat massa 2.45 gr/cm3, batuan Pra-Tersier dengan rapat massa 2.75 gr/cm3 dan batuan dasar dengan rapat massa 3.1 gr/cm3. Batuan sumber adalah serpih Formasi Makat berumur Miosen dengan rapat massa batuan 2.45 gr/cm3, sedangkan batuan reservoir terdiri dari batupasir Formasi Mamberamo.

Gravity research on the island of Biak gravity anomalies are grouped into two (2) units is a gravity anomaly 50 mgal up to 120 mgal is basin reflecting. Gravity anomaly 120 mgal up to 220 mgal formed heights anaomaly. Altitude residual anomaly from 0 mGal to 2 mgal is oil and gas as trapping structures contained in the northern City of Biak, off the east coast Mandon and P. Pai. The rocks is of low resistivity between 0 -16 Ohm-meter that indicates the saturated fluid reservoir rocks are in the depths of 2500 meter. The depth of the bedrock formed between 7000-8500 meters, with density 2.9 - 3.1 gr / cm3 is heights resistivity types of 1000-8200 Ohm-meter interpreted as a reflection of ultramafic rocks oceanic crust. The rocks in the study area consists of Tertiary rocks layers with a density 2.45 gr / cm3, the Pre-Tertiary rocks with density 2.75 gr / cm3 and bedrock with density 3.1 gr / cm3.
