Abstract
In this paper, a conparison is made of a total flow and binary fluid cycle method for power generation utilising a geothermal resource. A heat source temperature equivalent concept has been presented for the steam-water mixture system, which reduces and clarifies the thermodynamic calculation. The minimum efficiency of the total flow engine using the same power output and utilising the lame conditions of the binary fluid cycle method has been achieved.
