Heat ratio of contents in a geothermal reservoir

Input(s)

\varnothing: Porosity (dimensionless)

ρw\rho_{w}: Water Density (kg/m3)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)

CwC_{w}: Performance Coefficient, a Function of Mean Pressure Level (KJ/kgC)\left(\mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{kg}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)

Output(s)

HwH_{w}: Heat in Water Content (KJ/m3C)\left(\mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{m}^{3}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)

HT:H_{T}: Total Heat (KJ/m3C)\left(\mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{m}^{3}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)

Formula(s)

HwHT=ρwCwρwCw+ρrCr(1)\frac{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{w}}}{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{T}}}=\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{w}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{w}} \varnothing}{\rho_{\mathrm{w}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{w}} \varnothing+\rho_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}(1-\varnothing)}
