Disastrous Mechanism of Water Discharge in Abandoned Gob above the Stope in Mining Extra-Thick Coal Seam by Haixiao Lin, Feng Yang, Zhengzheng Cao, Yue Wang, Xiaojian Jiao

“…Once the mining-induced fractures connect with the overlying gob, it is easy to induce the water discharge disaster. With the mining geological conditions of the 8202 working face in the Tongxin coal mine as references, the disastrous mechanism of water discharge in the abandoned gob above the stope in the mining extra-thick coal seam is researched by numerical simulation with the UDEC numerical software, and the research results are obtained. …”

The Prospects for Wind Energy Development in the Republic of Belarus by Y. S. Petrusha, N. A. Papkova

“…The principal task is to choose the location of wind power plants with due regard to environmental requirements, temperature and humidity conditions, terrain and geological features of the location. The results of calculations of the wind flow conditions showed the preference for the joint application of the Weibull and Rayleigh functions that provide the confidence interval of the approximation of the wind speed function, while the terrain specific features make it possible to expect to obtain higher values of the established capacity utilization factor. …”
