An associate recently referred a text book to our attention: Geothermal Power Plants: Principles, Applications, and Case Studies. (A second edition is due to be released this month.)

Have you ever wanted to understand or model hydrothermal reservoir characteristics? Have you ever wanted to simply grok what a hydrothermal reservoir is? Would you like to be able to model/understand the thermodynamic characteristics of a hybrid flash-binary geothermal harvest system? Would you like to know where geothermal plants are installed, their conversion method, and capacity? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the book for you.

DiPippo does an admirable job in making the material accessible to all, yet including the deep technical details and formulae required to perform analysis of geothermal projects.
