The "working fluid" warms in the heat exchanger and evaporates. The working
fluid must be a volatile liquid, one with a low boiling point that easily evaporates;
the hydrocarbon "butane" (used in cigarette lighters) is commonly used. After
evaporating, the butane gas (white) transfers energy to the turbine, spinning it.
But this energy loss causes the butane to condense back to liquid on the other
side of the turbine, draining back into the heat exchanger. In the diagram, what
color is the used for the working fluid draining back into the heat exchanger? *

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

The heat from the geothermal fluid causes the secondary fluid to flash to vapour, which powers the turbines and, eventually, the generators. Binary cycle power plants are closed-loop systems, which means that almost nothing (except water vapour) is released into the atmosphere.

Because reheating improves the quality of steam at the turbine's output, blade erosion is reduced because water droplets in exhaust are reduced. It should also be observed that as the reheat pressure falls, so does the quality of steam in a turbine exhaust (x).
