【 摘 要 】

In the project CEMIE-Geo, the development of a steam transport simulator, GeoSteam.Net for a geothermal pipeline network is in progress. The steam-transportation algorithm considers the conservation of mass, linear momentum, and total (mechanical plus thermal) energy. The simulator is useful for the optimization of(i) design and contraction, (ii) monitoring and operation and (iii) decision making in the update and modification of the geothermal power plant. A demo program, DemoGeoSteam.Net for the solution of the well-known problem of three reservoirs (i.e. three pipes that connect two production wells and one power plant) is written in C# on the Windows platform, which can be downloaded from the website http://www.INEELGeoSteam.Net/WtrStmTbl. Similarly, an illustration is presented in defining the pipeline diameters of the above three reservoirs geothermal pipeline network.
