Exposure tests were conducted in binary geothermal brine on the island of Hawaii. The steam which flashes from the high pressure, high temperature water as it is brought to ambient pressure contains substantial amounts of ...

The preliminary design of a vertical, counterflow, shell and tube heat exchanger for use in a binary fluid power cycle is presented. The heat exchanger is to be part of a representative geothermal power plant generating ...

Boundary-layer analysis is performed for the buoyancy-induced flows in a saturated porous medium adjacent to horizontal impermeable surfaces. Similarity solutions are obtained for the convective flow above a heated surface ...
Ahluwalia, Rajesh K.; Chou, James C. S.(University of Hawaii, 1974)
A study of the important parameters of a vapor flashing plant and characteristics of its major components is presented. The investigations by others showed that a steam and water mixture can be transported in a single pipe ...
Minkowycz, W. J.; Cheng, Ping(University of Hawaii, 1975)
An analysis is made for free convective flow about a vertical cylinder embedded in a saturated porous medium, where surface temperature of the cylinder varies as xλ, a power function of distance from the leading edge. ...

The problem of steady free convection in an island aquifer, confined by caprock at the top and heated by an impermeable surface from below is considered. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are approximated ...
Cheng, Ping; Minkowycz, W. J.(University of Hawaii, 1975)
An analysis is made for steady free convection of groundwater about a hot dike trapped in an aquifer of infinite extent. Within the framework of boundary layer approximations, similarity solutions are obtained for a class ...
Cheng, Ping; Lau, K. H.(University of Hawaii, 1974)
The problem of steady state free convection in an unconfined coastal aquifer with non-isothermal geothermal heating from below is investigated in this paper. The governing non-linear partial differential equations with ...
Lau, K. H.; Cheng, Ping(University of Hawaii, 1974)
A perturbation analysis is made for the simultaneous heat and mass transfer in unconfined geothermal reservoirs with dike intrusion. The perturbation equations are of elliptic type that can be solved numerically by the ...
Cheng, Ping; Lau, K. H.(University of Hawaii, 1975)
The problem of combined free and forced convection in geothermal reservoirs resulting from steady withdrawal of fluid is investigated numerically. The aquifer is confined by caprock on the top, heated by an impermeable ...
