Energy, 1991, vol. 16, issue 4, 757-761

Abstract: The specific output of a simple, irreversible, dry geothermal field power plant is analyzed. The plant has a secondary vapor Rankine cycle, which is coupled to the dry geothermal field heating fluid (heat source) and a cooling fluid (heat sink) by heat transfer. An expression is derived for the specific power output of the irreversible geothermal heat engine. The maximum specific power output is found by using computer graphics.
