Consider a geothermal supply of hot water available as saturated liquid at P 1 = 1.5 MPa.

Question:

Consider a geothermal supply of hot water available as saturated liquid at P1 = 1.5 MPa. The liquid is to be flashed (throttled) to some lower pressure, P2. The saturated liquid and saturated vapor at this pressure are separated, and the vapor is expanded through a reversible adiabatic turbine to the exhaust pressure, P3 = 10 kPa. Study the turbine power output per unit initial mass, m1as a function of the pressure, P2.
