Calculate output of geothermal power plant that processes


Geothermal energy systems extract heat that is stored below the Earth's crust. For every 300 ft below ground, the temperature of the groundwater increases by about 5 ºF. Heat can be brought to the surface by steam or hot water to warm homes and buildings, and it also can be processed by a heat engine to produce electricity. Using the real efficiency value of 8%, calculate the output of a geothermal power plant that processes 50 lb/s of groundwater at 180 ºF and discharges it on the surface at 70 ºF.
