Gravimetric Soil Moisture Protocols [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to measure soil water content by mass. Students collect soil samples with a trowel or auger and weigh them, dry them, and then weigh them again.

Large-scale physical simulation of injection and production of hot dry rock in Gonghe Basin, Qinghai Province, China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development
Based on the independently developed true triaxial multi-physical field large-scale physical simulation system of in-situ injection and production, we conducted physical simulation of long-term multi-well injection and production in the hot dry rocks of ...

Numerical simulation of rock breaking by PDC bit in hot dry rocks

open access: yesNatural Gas Industry B, 2019
Penetrating through hot dry rocks for geothermal resources with high geothermal gradients, high degrees of hardness and abrasivity will be extremely difficult, and a reasonable tooth distribution is a key factor to improve its rock-breaking efficiency ...

Transfer of hot dry rock technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Development Program has focused worldwide attention on the facts that natural heat in the upper part of the earth's crust is an essentially inexhaustible energy resource which is accessible almost everywhere, and that practical means now exist to extract useful heat from the hot rock and bring it to the earth's ...

Arsenic in the Water, Soil Bedrock, and Plants of the Ester Dome Area of Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Concentrations of arsenic as large as 10 ppm (200 times the safe limit for drinking water) occur in the groundwater of a mineralized residential area near Fairbanks. Bedrock of the area contains 750 ppm As, primarily as arsenopyrite and scorodite. The

Experimental study of a novel downhole heat exchanger utilizing working fluids for enhanced heat exchange

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
This study designs and assesses a new type of shell and tube downhole heat exchanger (NDHE) equipped with organic working fluid (R32, R134a) to increase the thermal performance of the single well geothermal system.

Progress in hot dry rock exploitation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, 1985
The term hot dry rock (HDR) has been used to describe the exploitation of the thermal energy contained in rocks that have a sufficiently high temperature but contain insufficient fluids to enable the heat to be extracted. The attraction of such a resource is that it is probably available everywhere, but at varying depths.

Prediction of Thermal Behavior of Pervious Concrete Pavements in Winter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Because application of pervious concrete pavement (PCPs) has extended to cold-climate regions of the United States, the safety and mobility of PCP installations during the winter season need to be maintained.
