Geothermal Power Plant Flashcards
1
Q
Mass flow rate of steam, m_s
A
m_s=x m_g
solving for x:
h1=h2=hf2+xhfg
2
Q
Turbine Output, W_t
A
m_s=(h3-h4)e_t
assume: e_t=100% if there’s no given
3
Q
Generator Output, W_g
A
W_t * e_gen
m_s(h3-h4)(e_t * e_gen)
4
Q
Heat Rejected, Q_r
A
m_s(h4-h5)
5
Q
Over-all Plant Efficiency, e_c
A
W_t/m_gh1
[m_s(h3-h4)e_t]/(m_gh1)
