In a certain geothermal area it is shown that 1, 500, 000 kg/hours of pressurized ground water is available at 2500 psia and 620 deg F . The water will be throttled to a pressure of 250 psia to produce wet steam in this mixture will be passed through the water separator to removed the liquid droplets so that the saturated steam at 250 psia is available at the entrance o the steam turbine for the purpose of power plant . other plant data are as follows: Discharge pressure of the turbine = 25 inches vac. Turbine engine efficiency = 78% Mechanical loss 1.6 percent of mechanical power Generator efficiency = 97 % Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 30 inches Hg.
