a) The total energy available in a reservoir is
approximately 4 x 1010 GJ. Assuming this energy is
used over 50 years and assuming a recovery factor of 10%, how much
thermal power is available from the system?
b) Using a thermal efficiency of 45% and knowing the reinjection
fluid must be at least 90°C, calculate the conversion efficiency of
converting that power to electricity.
