GEOTHERMAL POWER GENERATION The source of terrestrial heat The nearer the centre of the earth hed, the higher ‘becomes its temperature - earth as shown in figure, below, viz, nucle the nuclear fission of various elements suc 238, Th 232 and K 40 1s always taking place heat and it is thought of as flowing in ction of the surface of the earth EARTH STRATUM @® tuoreus cents ® @ moteus ® @ mantte @® sarth crust, 271 The tempera: its centre, at the demarcation between the matte and-S0 in the bottom of the earths crust. The ‘heat Sources for the geothermal power generation can be obtained at the abnormal regions in the heat occurrences, viz.”geothermal regions” of which heat source exists in the mantle. When the magma in moiten state composed of lava is generated in the mantle, it rises along the soft cr- ust of the earth, forming itself into magma dep- osits, Its temperature is usually more — than1,000 °C ‘and if the magma deposit exists in place Telatively near the surface of the earth, the water which permeates underground comes. into touch with it, turning into steam or heated wa- ter instantly. The thermal enegies thus deposited underground can be drawn out by sinking a welt in order to use them for power’ generation.
