Heat is extracted from geothermal pressurized water at a temperature of $225 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ with the ideal Carnot efficiency. If the cold reservoir is at $80 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ and the generator efficiency is $90 \%$, what is the flow rate of geothermal water (in $\mathrm { m } ^ { 3 } / \mathrm { s }$ ) needed to yield 20 MW $_ { \mathrm { e } }$ output.

The Answer of Heat is extracted from geothermal pressurized water at a temperature of $225 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ with the ideal Carnot efficiency. If the cold reservoir is at $80 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ and the generator efficiency is $90 \%$, what is the flow rate of geothermal water (in $\mathrm { m } ^ { 3 } / \mathrm { s }$ ) needed to yield 20 MW $_ { \mathrm { e } }$ output.
