# Example 5: Geothermal Direct-Use Example Problem using User-Provided Temperature Data
# This example problem considers an EGS reservoir at 3 km depth with
# bottom-hole temperature of 150deg.C. The reservoir output temperature is imported from
# the text file "ReservoirOutput.txt". Ramey's model is applied to simulate production
# wellbore heat losses. The heat is used in a direct-use heat application with reinjection
# temperature of 80deg.C.
