Bakewell, C. A.; Book, N.; Herron, E. H.

The technical approach to the problem of comparative evaluation of the twenty economic-engineering studies on non-electric uses of geothermal energy is described which led to the development of the Geodec model. The geodec model is presented and the analyses made and the results calculated are described. The conclusions and recommendations arising from these results are discussed. Included in appendices are sample data input/output forms for each of the modules which make up Geodec and the detailed input data and calculated results for each process analyzed. (MHR)
