Question

while researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: - according to researcher muhammad ryan fuzail, geothermal binary - cycle systems are more efficient than dry - steam systems and flash - steam systems. - binary - cycle systems (especially binary - cycle systems that employ silicon rectifiers, than steam systems), or binary - cycle systems to produce electricity from geothermal energy. - a geothermal binary - cycle power plant in honduras runs a binary - cycle system. - fuzail says that binary - cycle systems pump 100% geothermal fluid back to the injection well and that this system has the least environmental impact with little or no emissions. the student wants to use a quotation from fuzail to explain an advantage of the geothermal system at the patuanak plant. which choice best accomplishes this goal? a. compared with dry - steam systems and flash - steam systems, the binary - cycle system at the patuanak plant is more capable of producing more energy per megawatt per year. fuzail notes. b. according to fuzail, because it uses silicon rectifiers, the patuanak plant results in more energy per megawatt per year than other geothermal plants. c. according to fuzail, making it environmentally friendly, the patuanak plant results in little or no emissions, because it uses environmentally friendly. d. since they return all geothermal fluid to the injection well, binary - cycle systems - such as the one at the patuanak plant - produce the least environmental impact, according to fuzail. the patuanak plant uses a binary - cycle system to produce electricity. in this type of geothermal system, fluid is pumped back to the injection well, fuzail explains.

Explanation:

The student wants to explain an advantage of the geothermal system at the Patazones plant. Option B mentions that binary - cycle geothermal systems have the capacity of producing more energy per megawatt per year according to Frazul, which is an advantage. Option A just makes a comparison without emphasizing the advantage clearly for the Patazones plant. Option C focuses on environmental friendliness rather than an energy - production advantage. Option D is just a description of the process without highlighting an advantage.

Answer:

B. According to Frazul, binary - cycle geothermal systems have the capacity of producing more energy per megawatt per year.
