flow test update, page-3

The data in today's ann allows the calculation of usable heat flow from the Habanero well system. I have used the figure 4.2kJ/kg/degree C for the heat capacity of water as a rough guide. In actual fact the heat capacity of water increases with temperature so my calculation can be taken as a minimum.

The variation of the heat capacity of water with temperature can be found at,

I have taken the exit temperature of water in the system as 55C.

I calculate the power released as 20kg per second of water at 212C is cooled to 55C as a minimum of. 13.2MW.

Even allowing for an inefficient conversion process, this amount of heat should be ample to power the proposed 1MW proof of concept demonstration.
