A geothermal power plant has a brake power of 20 MW, combined efficiency of 80%, and mechanical efficiency of 80%. The pressurized groundwater at 175 bar and 280 degrees Celsius leave the wells to enter the flash chamber maintained at 14 bar. The steam collected enters the turbine a 14 bar and exhaust at 1 atm. If one well discharges 180000 kg/hr of hot water, compute the number of wells required (IN WHOLE NUMBERS).
