Hawaii Geothermal Project : Engineering program : quarterly report no. 1

Abstract

The objectives of the Engineering Program are (1) applied research in problem areas related to the extraction of energy from geothermal resources, and (2) planning, design, and specification of a research-oriented, environmentally acceptable geothermal power plant. Work is progressing currently on four of the tasks originally proposed: Task 3.1 Well Test Analysis Task 3.2 Ghyben-Herzberg Lens Dynamics Task 3.6.1 Heat Exchanqer and Binary-Fluid Cycle Design Task 3.6.2 Optimal Hot Brine Plant Design This report summarizes the timetable (A) for each task, the progress made to date (B), and the future work planned (C).
