Performance Comparison of H2O and CO2 as the Working Fluid in Coupled Wellbore/Reservoir Systems for Geothermal Heat Extraction
CO2 is considered as a novel heat-transmission fluid for extracting geothermal energy from enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), attributed to its high compressibility, expansivity and low viscosity in comparison to water. In order to compare the performance of CO2 and H2O as the working fluid in EGS,...
