Question

The following image describe a single-flash geothermal power plant. We have the follow informations about the system:

  • The flash chamber (throttling valve) is a isenthalpic device 
  • The system is adiabatic
  • The power generated by the turbine is 10kW
  • The pressure and temperature at point 4 are 50 kPa and 100°C respectively
  • The pressure at separator is 500 kPa
  • The separator has the function of separating the phases of a saturated mixture
  • The mass that exits the system through the separator is 5 times the mass that exits the turbine.
  • The pressure at point 1 is 1 MPa

If all the information is sufficient, fill in the table below and plot all the points on a T x v graph.
