Flashing flow in hot water geothermal wells
Manuel Nathenson
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 743-751
The production characteristics of hot-water geothermal wells which flash to steam-water mixtures in the cased part of the hole were-analyzed. The flashing flow is assumed to be isenthalpic and, for purposes of calculating pressure drop, a finely dispersed mixture of equal average velocity. Water flow in the aquifer is treated...
