A geothermal resource/aquifer has been tested and confirmed to continuously produce saturated liquid water at 230°C. It is desired to construct a 60 MW geothermal power plant, which will utilize this resource. Two designs are proposed: a) a single flash unit and b) a dual-flash unit. A nearby cooling pond may supply sufficient cooling water to keep the condenser of the plant at 40°C. For the two types of units under consideration calculate: a) The total amount of steam that needs to be produced. b) The total amount of water the wells must provide. c) If each well produces 60 kg/s of water, what is the

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.
