modelSteamTurbineStodola

Steam turbine: Stodola's ellipse law and constant isentropic efficiency

Extends from BaseClasses.SteamTurbineBase (Steam turbine).

Information

This model extends SteamTurbineBase by adding the actual performance characteristics:

  • Stodola's law
  • Constant isentropic efficiency

The inlet flowrate is also proportional to the partialArc signal if the corresponding connector is wired. In this case, it is assumed that the flow rate is reduced by partial arc admission, not by throttling (i.e., no loss of thermodynamic efficiency occurs). To simulate throttling, insert a valve model before the turbine inlet.
