A geothermal power plant uses geothermal liquid water at


A geothermal power plant uses geothermal liquid water at 160°C at a rate of 440 kg/s as the heat source, and produces 14 MW of net power in an environment at 25°C. If 18.5 MW of energy entering the plant with the geothermal water is destructed within the plant, determine

(a) The energy of the geothermal water entering the plant,

(b) The second-law efficiency, and

(c) The energy of the heat rejected from the plant. Energy Analysis of Closed Systems
