Present status and future prospects for nonelectrical uses of geothermal resources

Description: This report, which is part of a study initiated by the NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society (CCMS), describes the current status of nonelectrical uses of geothermal resources. Such resources are defined as geothermal fluids between the temperatures of 50 and 160/sup 0/C. Current and potential uses of these resources including residential and commercial, agricultural and industrial applications are described. Also discussed are exploration and drilling; extraction and distribution;… more

Geothermal R and D project report, July 1, 1975--September 30, 1975. [Freon 113]

Description: The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Geothermal Research and Development Project is conducting two major geothermal development efforts: (1) a project aimed at medium temperature (approximately 300/sup 0/F) utilization to produce electricity with supplemental direct thermal use of the energy and (2) a low temperature (approximately 170/sup 0/F) space heating project. The first effort has progressed in the field to the successful drilling of two deep geothermal wells providing flows … more

Potential of low-temperature geothermal resources in northern California. Report No. TR13

Description: Economically feasible uses for geothermal heat at temperatures too low for conventional electrical power generation at present are delineated. Several geothermal resource areas in northern California that have development potential are described, and applications of the heat found in each area are suggested. Plates are included of the following field study areas: the east side of the Sierra-Cascade Range north of Bishop, and the northern Coast Range from San Francisco Bay to Clear Lake. The cou… more

Physical factors determining the fraction of stored energy recoverable from hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated areas

Description: Background analyses for the estimates of Nathenson and Muffler (1975) of geothermal resources in hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated areas are given. Heat and fluid recharge potential of geothermal reservoirs are discussed, and the physical factors that determine the fraction of stored energy obtainable at the surface from a geothermal reservoir are considered. Also, conversion of heat to electricity and the use of geothermal energy for direct-heating applications are discu… more
