Geothermal energy mining
Abstract
In Hungary the geothermal gradient is relatively high which means that there are high-temperature rocks underground. In theory the extraction of the heat of the rocks would be a perfect solution to ensure the heating of the country. The mathematical model written in the essay demonstrates that the exothermic system - consisted of two wells - is operable. The re-pressing was proved to be highly possible by many measurements, so the technological solution is ensured. In the USA scientists developed the hot dry stone method, when they make path for the fluid into the stones. Different system is used in France, when they repumping the fluid into the leaky stone.
