Determine the actual thermal efficiency


A geothermal power plant uses geothermal water extracted at 150°C at a rate of 210 kg/s as the heat source and produces 8000 kW of net power. The geothermal water leaves the plant at 90°C. If the environment temperature is 25°C, determine (a) the actual thermal efficiency, (b) the maximum possible thermal efficiency, and (c) the actual rate of heat rejection from this power plant.
