What is the heat supplied to the plant by the steam


Steamboat Springs geothermal power plant in Nevada operates between a steam temperature of 220 C and an ambient temperature of 25 C. What is the Carnot efficiency of the power plant? The power plant is rated at 8 MWe. Assuming the actual plant thermal efficiency is 60% of the Carnot efficiency, what is the heat supplied to the plant by the steam? If the steam is saturated at 220 C and expands to a pressure of 15 kPa with a quality of 0.85, estimate the flow rate of steam?
