    The document discusses the basics of steam turbine performance and optimization. The turbine output is determined by multiplying the steam flow rate by the heat energy consumed. The mass flow rate is decided by the boiler's steam generation capacity, while the heat energy consumed depends on the difference between the initial and final enthalpies of the steam. The document also covers Carnot efficiency for a Rankine cycle, which is defined as the difference between the absolute temperatures of the heat source and heat sink, divided by the absolute temperature of the heat source. Entropy is explained as the degree of energy degradation that occurs in any process in the universe.

    Steam Turbine Performance &


    Optimization
    Basics of Turbine Output
    Size of the unit is decided by energy requirement policy.
    Turbine output = Steam flow rate x Heat Energy consumed
    Power = M x (H1-H2)
    Mass flow rate (M) is decided by boiler steam generation
    capacity (BMCR).
    H1 is the highest available energy associated with working
    fluid.
    H2 is base line energy associated with working fluid (i.e. at
    condenser parameters).
