This turns us into Buffalo, with the lake effect.So, if this washes out, then have pity on the weather people who think lows and highs actually do
Brine specific heat capacity shows up in geothermal power calculations. I generated the main plot some time ago, but just added the two points. Fervo Energy Blue Mountain pilot project (salinity S=5000 ppm) is a recurring case history throughout my notes. Smackover lithium brine (S=340,000 ppm) has geothermal electrical co-generation potential and is the MS thesis subject of my student Juan Falquez. The SMK point is specifically tuned to the Lewisville area of Lafayette County, where a large [...]
