← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a geothermal plant's brine experiences rapid cooling?
A)Silica scaling deposition drastically increases✓
B)Generator output efficiency sees substantial gain
C)Wellbore corrosion rate abruptly decreases
D)Pumping cost decreases in cold weather
💡 Explanation
Silica scaling increases due to decreased silica solubility during rapid cooling. Polymerization of silicic acid leads to deposition via the mechanism called silica polymerization because it exceeds saturation; therefore, scaling increases rather than efficiency gains, as the saturation indexes change substantially.
