A schematic of a single-flash geothermal power plant with state numbers is given in Fig. P10€“26, the geothermal resource exists as a saturated liquid at 230 °C. The geothermal fluid is withdrawn from the production well at a rate of 230 kg/s, and pressure at a pressure of 500 kPa by an isenthalpic flashing process in which steam is generated from the liquid in a separator and directed to a turbine. . The steam leaves the turbine grade at 10 kPa with 10 percent air and enters the condenser where the steam is condensed and where it goes to a reinjection well along with the liquid exiting the separator. define
(a) The mass flow rate of steam through the turbine,
(b) Efficiency of the isentropic turbine,
(c) Turbine output power, and
(d) Generation efficiency (ratio of turbine work output to geothermal fluid energy relative to standard environmental conditions).
