Description

The Geothermal Engineering course provides an overview of geothermics and geothermal energy production for geothermal and petroleum engineers. The course covers the fundamental topics of heat and mass transport in porous media, thermomechanics, geochemistry and their dedicated applications (geothermal power production, reservoir management, enhanced geothermal systems, etc). While the course is designed for postgraduate students, senior undergraduate students may also select it as an elective.

By successfully completing this course, students will be able to:

1. Understand and apply fundamental concepts in geothermal engineering.

2. Critically analyze the underlying theories, concepts, assumptions and arguments concerning heat and mass transport under various conditions.
