Compare the energy density of oil and geothermal fluid at 250 C pumped from oil/geothermal wells

Question:

Compare the energy density of oil and geothermal fluid at 250 C pumped from oil/geothermal wells at a rate of 30 L/s. To make a fair comparison, assume that the oil is transformed into useful mechanical energy at 20% net efficiency and that the geothermal fluid emerges from the well as saturated liquid and is converted into electricity in a single-flash geothermal power plant as described in Example 32.5.
