In Geothermal-steam power cycle, the source of heat is the hot water from well. The heat exchanger receive hot water at Tg1= 105 oC and the water leaves at 40 oC as shown in Figure 3. Steam exits the boiler at 40 bar, 300 oC, and it exits the turbine at 1 bar. Saturated liquid water exits the condenser at 1 bar. The plant operate to generate 20 MW electric power with generator efficiency of 0.95. The isentropic efficiency of...

A nuclear power plant generates 3000 MW of heat energy from nuclear reactions in the reactor's core. This energy is used to boil water and produce high-pressure steam at 320 ∘C. The steam spins a turbine, which produces 1000 MW of electric power, then the steam is condensed and the water is cooled to 25∘C before starting the cycle again. Part A: What is the maximum possible thermal efficiency of the power plant? Part B: Cooling water from a river...
