Conclusions
A new empirical correlation for TITP has been devised for geothermal (brine) temperature
of 120 180 C and injection temperature of 70 160 C
It was obtained that all the optimum point spread around correlation line with relative
error for optimum TIT, TIP, and specific net power output within 2.5%, 26%, and 2%
Within typical value ranges, it is valid regardless of pinch-point, condensation
temperature, and recuperation effect.
However, multi-dimensional fitting which includes these parameters is foreseen to predict
optimal TITP more accurately
