Solving. Use separate paper if necessary. (50 points)

1. A geothermal power plant draws a pressurized water from well at 20 MPa and 300°C to produce a steam-water
mixture in the separator, where the unflashed water is removed, this water is throttled to a pressure of 1.5
MPa. The flashed steam which is dry and saturated passes through the steam collector and enters the turbine
at 1.5 Mpa and expand to 1 atm. The turbine efficiency is 80% at a rated power output of 15 MW. Calculate the
following:
a. mass of steam
b. mass of ground water
c. Over-all efficiency
2. In a rankine cycle, saturated liquid water at 1 bar is compressed isentropically to 150 bar. First by heating in a
boiler and then by superheating at constant pressure of 150 bar, the water substance is brought to 750 K. After
adiabatic reversible expansion in a turbine to 1 bar, it is then cooled in a condenser to saturated liquid.
Calculate the following:
a. Work generated by the turbine
b. Thermal Efficiency
