Geothermal reinjection is an important part of sustainable management of geothermal resources. Reinjection started out as a method of waste-water disposal, but is now also being used to counteract pressure draw-down and to extract more thermal energy from reservoir rocks. The possible cooling of production wells, or thermal breakthrough, is one of the main disadvantages associated with injectio...

Meert J .G. and Smith, D.L. , 1991. Heat flow at the Platanares, Honduras , geothermal site. In: F .Goff (Editor), Honduras A Geothermal Investigation. J. Volcanol. Geotherm. Res., 4 5 : 9 1 9 9 . Three boreholes, PLTG-1, PLTG-2 and PLTG-3, were drilled in the Platanares, Honduras geothermal system to evaluate the geothermal energy potential of the site. The max imum reservoir temperature was p...

the south khorasan province is located in eastern iran. identifying potential geothermal zones is a pre-requisite for any thermal power plant and recreation center project. geothermal exploration involves a high degree of uncertainty and financial risk, and requires reliable exploration data to constrain development decisions. the present study focuses on identifying the potential zones of geot...

We review the possibilities for in situ energy resources on Titan for use by future humans, including chemical, nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower. All of these options, with the possible exception of geothermal, represent effective sources of power. Combustion of methane (after electrolysis of the native water), in combination with another source of power such as nuclear, is a via...

The heat pipe applications have been coupled with the renewable energy such as solar energy, waste heat and geothermal energy. Thermosyphon Rankine Cycle (TRC) is a vertical wickless heat pipe engine. In this engine, the turbine is installed between the insulated section and a condenser section of thermosyphon. The mechanical energy developed by the turbine can be converted to electricity, by d...
