Follow-up Question

Using that information and this table 

For the average monthly rate of geothermal heat available, determine, for the real case: in a tabular format and show sample calculation for one month.

  1. the necessary monthly average mass flow rate (in kg/s) of the refrigerant that must be pumped through the heat exchanger to collect the thermal energy from the available geothermal hot water flow rate if the hot water was cooled by 5°C. What should be the flow capacity (in kg/s) of feed pump of the ORC heat engine that you are designing and the monthly average net electric power generation capacity (in kW).

2. the monthly average net electric power generation capacity (in kW) and yearly average net electrical power generation capacity (in kW).
