Lesson Plan
Objective: Explore the complexities of multiphase flow, heterogeneity, and geothermal systems beyond conventional setups.
Multiphase Flow and Heat Transfer in Geothermal Systems
- Steam-liquid interactions and their implications on reservoir performance.
- Thermal recovery in water-dominated systems.
Addressing Reservoir Heterogeneity
- Impact of fractures and faults on heat and fluid flow.
Advanced Topics in Geothermal Simulation
- Modeling subsurface rock deformation and stress distribution in geothermal operations.
From Thermal to Electrical Energy
- Power plant basics: Binary, flash, and dry steam power plants.
- Calculating electrical output from thermal output using plant efficiency.
Practical Session
- Thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) modeling using proxy models.
