OBS

Ideally, the maximum power would be extracted from the hot water phase in a wet field by using an infinite number of flash vessels connected in cascade (multiflash) or at any rate by using one flash vessel for every turbine stage; but such a procedure would be an economic absurdity. It can, however, sometimes pay to provide two flash vessels.
