Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to estimate the power of a geothermal source when the energy is obtained by means of a heat exchanger. It has been assumed that the temperature of the rocks at large distances from the heat exchanger is the same regardless of the direction and that the exchanger is sphere-shaped. Owing to this it is possible to estimate the power of the system without having to study the dynamics of the heat propagation in the rocks. The system has been analysed in steady state. The model and all the calculations are the author’s results.
