Abstract
Flashed steam system is one of the important geothermal power production methods. In this paper, optimum operations and performances of single and double flash systems are presented. It is shown that double flash system can produce about 26.5% more power than single flash system. Temperature of geothermal water($T_R$) is the most important parameter in the geothermal system. Optimum single and double flash temperatures and net power produced with these optimum conditions are expressed as a function of $T_R$ in this study. Thus net power output from geothermal resources can be estimated with the results of this work. Condenser Temperature($T_{con}$) is also important and the net power production can be shown as a function of ($T_R-T_{con}$. Volume flow rate per unit power is also to be considered as the condenser temperature decreases.
