| Abstract | It is argued that the long term future of geothermal electricity generation requires deep drilling for high temperature resources. me physical properties of water near the critical point are discussed and the peculiarities that thev introduce into Jluid and heat transfer behaviour in pipe jlows is briefly discussed. Literature relevant to near-critical geothermal resources is reviewed. The possible nature oj'a near-critical reservoir is postulated. |
