Answer 1

Answer:

binary cycle. (answer)

Answer 2

The geothermal power plants can be classified according to the type of dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle.

• Dry steam power plants attract from underground reserves of steam. The steam is funnelled immediately from subsurface wells to the power plant, where it is organized into a turbine/generator department.
• Flash steam power plants are the most familiar. They use geothermal pools of water with temperatures bigger than 360°F (182°C).
• Binary cycle plants operate on the water at shorter temperatures of about 225°-360°F (107°-182°C). These plants utilize the heat from the hot water to boil a working fluid, usually an organic solution with a short boiling point.
