Turbine Calculations. Worked-out examples illustrating how to determine turbine output power for a steam turbine and an air turbine.
Compressor Calculations. Worked-out examples illustrating how to determine air compressor power requirements.
Pump Calculations. Worked-out examples in both SI and English units to illustrate how to determine pump power requirements.
Nozzle Efficiency Calculations. Worked-out example illustrating how to determine nozzle efficiency.
Steam Power Plant Analysis. Full worked-out example analysis of a basic steam power plant, based on the Rankine Cycle. This example incorporates an adiabatic-but-irreversible steam turbine and an adiabatic-but-irreversible feedwater pump.
Entropy Production for a Closed System Undergoing a Process. Example helps you better understand the difference between “entropy change” and “entropy production”.
Entropy Production for a Closed System Undergoing a Cycle. Examples are shown for one-single-cycle as well as a cycle operating at a steady rate.
