Question
A good oil well in the Persian Gulf produces about 100,000 bbl of oil per day. What mass flow rate of steam from a geothermal well located at the Larderello field in north- ern Italy would be required to provide the same rate of energy production? Are there any practical limitations to achieving this production rate? The Larderello field produces saturated steam at about 20 bar, 212.4°C. Assume a typical Larderello well is about 28 cm in diameter and is about 2,500 m deep.
The enthalpy of vaporization is 1,890.7 kJ/kg at 20 bar. Assume an average liquid phase heat capacity for water of 4,100 J/kg K. Note that the energy content of a bbl of oil, which is about 5 million Btu, is referenced to its heat of combustion at 25°C.

- Steam at a rate of 200 kg/min enters a turbine at 350°C and 40 bar through a 7.5-cm internal diameter pipe. The turbine operation is adiabatic, and the effluent leaves as saturated water at 5 bar through a 5-cm diameter pipe. 1. Calculate the work produced by the turbine in kW. 2. What is the enthalpyand phase of the effluent stream? 21 If it leaves the turbine at 75C and 5 bar 22 If it leaves the turbine at 30C and 5 bar 7.5arrow_forwardUsing the Mollier diagram, find H of steam with osuperheat=450 oC and S=8.1 kJ/K kg.arrow_forward2) Two glass bulbs, one on the left with a volume of 2 liters and the other on the right with avolume of 6 liters, are connected to one another by a thin tube that is initially closed by astopcock. The bulb on the left has 0.1 moles of ideal gas, and the bulb on the right isevacuated. The system is in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at 300K. When thestopcock is opened, the gas flows out to fill both bulbs. Calculate A for this process.
