"The energy required to vaporize the working fluid passing through
the boiler of a simple vapor power plant is provided by the complete
combustion of methane with 110% of theoretical air. The fuel and air
enter in separate streams at 25°C, 1 atm. Products of combustion
exit the stack at 150°C, 1 atm."
