The diagram below shows how geothermal energy is used to produce electricity. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given diagram illustrates the production of energy using a geothermal power plant.
Overall
, the whole process includes five steps, beginning with cold water
and ending with the generator which is powered by the turbine and produces electricity.
In the first step, cold water
goes 4.5 km down to earth where the process is continued with the injection well. Then
, water
goes throughout the geothermal zone (hot rocks) to get ready for the upcoming step, for the production well. Afterwards, heated water
goes up to the same distance as was in the first step from the production well to the condenser.
Having pumped up, the turbine is filled with the steam which comes from the condenser. Eventually, the generator is powered by turbines and produces electricity.Submitted by wind1y998 on
