Question:

Geo thermal water can be used directly as a source to a steam turbine. Consider 10 kg/s water at 500 kPa, 150◦C brought to a flash chamber, where it is throttled to 200 kPa, as shown in Fig. P9.26. From the chamber, saturated vapor at 200 kPa flows to the turbine with an exit at 10 kPa. From state 4 it is cooled in a condenser and pumped back into the ground. Determine the quality at the turbine exit and the power that can be obtained from the turbine.
