Conduct. Convect. Optimize.
Accurate prediction of heat transfer is essential for temperature-dependent operations and the effective design of geothermal wells. The EDS conducts detailed energy balance calculations that account for key heat transfer mechanisms, including:
- convection (natural, forced)
- conduction
- Joule-Thomson cooling and heating
The system supports both an analytical model and a finite difference method
for modeling formation heat transfer. These models have been rigorously
validated against extensive field pilot data.
