Answer to Question #328991 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for Joseph Se

Question

Exercise on Geothermal

Parameters Assumption

Area(km^2) Variable

Thickness(km) 1.5

Reservoir Temperature Variable

Reference Temperature 180

Rock Density 2700

Rock Specific Heat 0.90

Rock Porosity 0.05

Fluid Density 792 kg/m^3

Fluid Specific Heat Variable

Recovery Factor 15%

Conversion Efficiency 10%

Load Factor 75%

Plant life (years) 25

Additional data

Area = 8 km^2

Reservoir Temp =  250 0C

Fluid specific heat = 4180 Joules/kg 0C

Life of plant = 25 yrs x 365 days x 24 hrs x 60min x 60 sec

Compute for the following:

1.Etot

2.ER = Etot x Rec Factor

3.Ee = ER x Conversion Factor

4.MWt = Ee / Load factor x Plant life
