| Abstract | The theory behind how chemically reactive tracers are used to characterize the velocity and temperature distribution in steady flowing systems is reviewed. Ranges of kinetic parameters a reestablished as a function of reservoir temperatures and fluid residence times for selecting appropriate reacting systems. Reactive tracer techniques are applied to character i z e the temperature d is t r i bution in a laminar-flow heat exchanger. Models are developed to predict r e active trace r behavior in fractured geothermal reservoirs of fixed and increasing size. |
