A geothermal power plant brings underground steam to the surface. What does the steam do to generate electricity?
A geothermal power plant has no flash tank and no heat exchanger. What comes directly from the underground reservoir to spin its turbine?
In a flash-steam plant, what change causes some hot geothermal water to become vapor?
A binary-cycle geothermal plant keeps reservoir water out of its turbine. What component transfers heat to the lower-boiling working fluid?
After geothermal steam cools and condenses in many power plants, why is the water reinjected underground?
What three conditions naturally form a conventional hydrothermal resource for geothermal electricity?
Why can geothermal electricity help balance intermittent wind and solar generation on a power grid?
A home uses pipes buried in the ground and an indoor heat pump. What is this system designed to provide?
During winter, outside air is colder than the ground around a ground-source heat pump loop. Where does the system move heat?
During summer, a ground-source heat pump cools a building by moving heat in what direction?
Why can a ground-source heat pump work in both January and July at the same site?
A system circulates fluid through pipes buried beside a building. What material acts as its heat source in winter and heat sink in summer?
A school has little open land but can drill boreholes. Why might its designer choose vertical rather than horizontal ground loops?
A geothermal heat pump uses electricity. What is the pump's main energy function?
Site A has hot, water-bearing fractured rock at shallow depth. Site B has equally hot but dry, impermeable rock. Site C has cool, permeable groundwater. For a conventional geothermal plant, which site is most viable?
Why are high-temperature geothermal power resources often found near tectonic plate boundaries and volcanic belts?
An exploration well finds very hot rock but almost no natural fractures for water to move through. What most limits conventional geothermal electricity generation there?
How can an enhanced geothermal system make a hot-rock site more suitable for electricity generation?
A region has geothermal water too cool for a typical flash-steam plant. Which power-plant design can use lower-temperature geothermal resources?
A town lies on stable continental crust with no nearby high-temperature hydrothermal reservoir. Which geothermal application can still be installed if the site can access shallow ground?
