Which limit is reached as geothermal steam flashes?

💡 Explanation

As reservoir pressure drops driving geothermal steam turbines, adiabatic expansion approaches equilibrium with reduced energy available; therefore isentropic efficiency decreases because the reversible process assumption becomes less accurate, rather than maximum work being achieved.
