← ScienceWithin a geothermal electricity generator, what occurs with increased mineral scaling?
A)Reduced turbine generation efficiency✓
B)Increased condenser cooling capacity
C)Enhancement of heat exchanger rates
D)Prevention of reinjection well blockage
💡 Explanation
Mineral scaling reduces generator pressure as deposition narrows channels using deposition. This decreases the steam's ability to efficiently drive turbines via decreased kinetic energy transfer, because scaling acts like resistance rather than promoting effective energy conversion; therefore reducing energy conversion efficiency instead of other factors.
