This single resource covers all aspects of the utilization of geothermal energy for power generation from fundamental scientific and engineering principles. The thermodynamic basis for the design of geothermal power plants is at the heart of the book and readers are clearly guided on the process of designing and analysing the key types of geothermal energy conversion systems. Its practical emphasis is enhanced by the use of case studies from real plants that increase the reader' 606 $aGeothermal power plants 606 $aGeothermal power plants$vCase studies 606 $aGeothermal resources 615 0$aGeothermal power plants. 615 0$aGeothermal power plants 615 0$aGeothermal resources. 676 $a621.44 700 $aDiPippo$b Ronald$0627305 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777020503321 996 $aGeothermal power plants$91213507 997 $aUNINA
