Simulation of fluid flow through fractured rock, a smeared approach

Geothermal energy reservoirs can be used as sources of renewable and sustainable energy. The concept of geothermal technology relies on the harvesting of heat from the deep rock by injecting fluid that circulates through the porous, fractured reservoir rock between the injection and production boreholes, and thereby transports the heat to the...

Effect of Mineral Scaling on Geothermal Wells: Carbonate Scaling

As of 2040, Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects an increase of 28% in world energy consump- tion. The majority of this consumption is projected to account from developing countries such as India, China and other third world countries since the economy is increasing rapidly.
