Question: The geothermal source is in saturated liquid form at 2 3 0 deg C and its flow rate is 2 3 0 kg /

The geothermal source is in saturated liquid form at 230\deg C and its flow rate is 230 kg/h. It is expanded to 500 kPa pressure at constant enthalpy in the evaporation chamber (expansion valve). The resulting liquid vapor mixture is separated in a separator and sent to the turbine. Steam leaves the turbine at 10 kPa pressure, containing 5% moisture, and enters the condenser, where it is condensed and then combined with the water coming from the decomposer and sent back to the well. Calculate the turbine power and thermal efficiency of the power plant
