The author critiques the Exploration component of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Geothermal Program Review X. The comments focus principally on the hydrothermal portion of the DOE program, but he also makes some commentary on the Long Valley Exploratory Well and Geopressured-Geothermal...

Over a 7month period, temperatures were monitored in six large scale (approximately 4500 metric tons) silos for wood pellet storage. Each silo had 124 temperature sensors mounted on cables for an even distribution within the volume. During the study, silos were charged and discharged several...

The bootstrap fraction, I{sub bs}/I{sub p}, and the shape of the bootstrap current density, J{sub bs}(r), can depend sensitively on the shape of the plasma profiles. Beginning with Hirshman`s form for the bootstrap current density, and making a large aspect ratio expansion (proceeding two orders...

Current driven by electron Bernstein waves (EBW) and by the electron bootstrap effect are calculated separately and concurrently with a kinetic code, to determine the degree of synergy between them. A target {beta} = 40% NSTX plasma is examined. A simple bootstrap model in the CQL3D...
