Turbine2_CL



Procedure Turbine2_CL provides a model of a turbine with a specified isentropic or polytropic efficiency.  The model operates both within and outside of vapor dome.

Inputs:
h_in:  inlet enthalpy (J/kg, kJ/kg, or Btu/lbm)
P_in:  inlet pressure (bar, atm, Pa, kPa, MPa)
P_out:  outlet pressure (bar, atm, Pa, kPa, MPa)
m_dot:  mass flow rate (kg/s or lb_m/hr)
F$:  fluid string identifier
eta:  if eta>0 then it is interpreted as the isentropic efficiency
if eta<0 then abs(eta) is interpreted as the polytropic efficiency

Outputs:
h_out:  outlet enthalpy (J/kg, kJ/kg, or Btu/lbm)
W_dot:  power (W, kW or Btu/hr)
eta_s:  isentropic efficiency (this is useful if polytropic efficiency is an input)

Example: 
$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa
F$='CarbonDioxide'
P_in=8e6 [Pa]
h_in=Enthalpy(F$,P=P_in,T=800 [K])
P_out=7e5 [Pa]
m_dot=0.08 [kg/s]
eta= -0.9 [-]
Call Turbine2_CL(h_in, P_in, P_out, m_dot, F$, eta: h_out, W_dot, eta_s)

{Solution:
h_out = 234180 J/kg
W_dot = 22073 W
eta_s = 0.9178}
