ground surface subsidence as a result of such large flows; (3) a greater degree
of precipitation of minerals from the brine, resulting in the necessity for
design of valves, pumps, separator internals, and other equipment for
operation under scaling conditions; and (4) greater corrosion of piping, well
casing, and other conduits.
Flashed-steam systems have been widely used in Japan, New Zealand,
Italy, Mexico, and elsewhere.
This procedure and the data and illustrations presented in Related
Calculations are the work of M. M. El-Wakil, as presented in his book
Powerplant Technology, McGraw-Hill, 1984. At the time of publication he
was Professor of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at the University of
Wisconsin.
