Provides an overview of geothermal energy systems, covering thermodynamic principles, heat pump technologies, and the classification of geothermal reservoirs.
Explores the conservation of energy in thermodynamic systems through heat and work interactions, introducing internal energy, enthalpy, and heat capacity.
Discusses entropy, isentropic transformations, and the Clausius-Kelvin prohibitions, as well as the Carnot cycle and the efficiency of machines with two heat sources.
