OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND:
■ The energy from geothermal fluid can be converted into electricity
■ steam and brine must be separated by the separator
■ The dryness (x) needs to be calculated for knowing the steam mass flow rate as the
working fluid to rotate the turbine .
INTRODUCTION
