Focusing on geothermal energy systems, this unique work in the recently developed CRC series, Energy and the Environment looks at the background, theory, power generation, applications, strengths and weaknesses, and practical techniques for implementing geothermal energy projects. Like the rest of the series, it stresses the links between acquisition and consumption and the environment. The authors provide numerous real world case studies, and a number of practical implementation steps. This particular volume explains geosciences principles, drilling operations and techniques, as well as types of well pumps and other equipment. Homework problems are included in each chapter.
