Geothermal as a Renewable Energy Resource
I will teaching the High School Chemistry classes about Geothermal heating and cooling. We will discuss what geothermal is, what type of heat transfer goes on and calculate the energy savings compared to a tradition fossil fuel system. I set up a calculation that took their school, calculated the number of wells needed and efficiency of the geothermal system and then compared it to the natural gas boiler system the building has currently. This is meant to educate the kids on renewable resources.
