This is two-phase fluid transmission - water and steam transmitted together in a single pipe, without the need for wellhead separators .... Certain investigators ... argued that as two-phase fluids rose up the bore casings without any disastrous effects, a pipeline forming a continuation of the bore might equally survive the rough treatment of transmitting flashing, boiling water/steam mixtures over the ground surface. 2, record 1, English, - two%2Dphase%20fluid

The two-phase fluid is separated at either individual or a common separator after which steam is piped to the turbine while the separated water is either disposed off into the infiltration pond or re-injected to the reservoir through a re-injection well. 3, record 1, English, - two%2Dphase%20fluid

Il s'agit d'un transport de fluide en deux phases - l'eau et la vapeur étant convoyées ensemble dans un seul conduit, sans la nécessité d'avoir des séparateurs en tête de puits. [...] Certains chercheurs [...] ont soutenu que, comme les fluides diphasiques s'élèvent dans les tubages de forage sans effet désastreux, un pipeline formant une continuation du forage pourrait résister également au traitement violent de la transmission des mélanges eau/vapeur en ébullition et vaporisation à la surface du sol. 2, record 1, French, - fluide%20diphasique

Généralement, le fluide diphasique est séparé en surface et seule la vapeur est utilisée pour actionner une turbine couplée à un générateur d'électricité. 3, record 1, French, - fluide%20diphasique

If the amount of heat applied to the water at the saturation temperature is Xl (where X is a fraction), only the fraction X (lb) of the water will be converted into steam. The steam in this case would be a mixture of saturated water and saturated steam. This steam is termed wet of quality X. 6, record 2, English, - wet%20steam

Sous l'effet d'un accroissement de pression, la vapeur peut se condenser, c.à-d. passer à l'état liquide. Dans des conditions particulières, la vapeur peut se trouver en contact avec la phase liquide et en équilibre avec celle-ci; si l'équilibre est stable, la pression de la vapeur ne dépend que de la température, et la vapeur est alors dite saturée. La vapeur saturée, mais encore en présence de la phase liquide, est dite vapeur saturée humide; quand la phase liquide est complètement évaporée, on parle de vapeur saturée sèche, enfin, quand la température de la vapeur sèche augmente encore, on parle de vapeur surchauffée. 1, record 2, French, - vapeur%20satur%C3%A9e%20humide
