“geothermal energy”的概念、定义、翻译、参考文献-科学参考

geothermal energy

Physics

Heat within the earth’s interior that is a potential source of energy. Volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles are all sources of geothermal energy. The main areas of the world in which these energy sources are used to generate power include Larderello (Italy), Wairakei (New Zealand), Geysers (California, USA), and Reykjavik (Iceland). High-temperature porous rock also occurs in the top few kilometres of the earth’s crust. Thermal energy from these reservoirs can be tapped by drilling into them and extracting their thermal energy by conduction to a fluid. The hot fluid can then be used for direct heating or to raise steam to drive a turbogenerator.

Chemical Engineering

A natural and renewable source of thermal energy extracted from regions of volcanic activity such as fumaroles, hot springs, and geysers. The heat is extracted by drilling a borehole down into the high-temperature porous rock, which ranges from just below the surface of the Earth in some places, to several kilometres down. Hot water and steam is either brought to the surface and used directly, or water is sent down where it is heated by conduction and returned to the surface. Geothermal energy is used for domestic or district heating, industrial processes, or for power generation in turbogenerators. Countries that use significant amounts of geothermal energy include the US, the Philippines, Iceland, and New Zealand. The district heating system in Reykjavik, Iceland provides heat for 95 per cent of the buildings.
