Calculation Details
Step 1: Determine Inlet Properties Using the Steam Property Calculator, properties are determined using Inlet Pressure and the selected second parameter (Temperature, Specific Enthalpy, Specific Entropy, or Quality). The Specific Enthalpy is then multiplied by the Mass Flow to get the Energy Flow:
Pressure = 2,132.1 psig Tem perature = 995.0 F

[Steam Property Calculator] => Specific Enthalpy = 1,466.8 btu/lbm


Inlet Energy Flow = Specific Enthalpy * Mass Flow

[ Inlet Energy Flow = 6,473.3 MMBtu/hr = 1,466.8 btu/lbm * 4,413.3 k lb/hr ] Step 2: Calculate Ideal Outlet Properties (Inlet Entropy equals Outlet Entropy)
Pressure = 497.5 psig Specific Entropy = 1.548 btu/lbm/R

[Steam Property Calculator] => Specific Enthalpy = 1,289.5 btu/lbm Step 3: If solve for 'Isentropic Efficiency', Determine Outlet Properties
Pressure = 497.5 psig Tem perature = 597.2 F

[Steam Property Calculator] => Specific Enthalpy = 1,295.9 btu/lbm Using the outlet specific enthalpy, calculate the isentropic efficiency:
Isentropic Efficiency = (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - Outlet Specific Enthalpy) / (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - IDEAL Outlet Specific Enthalpy)

[Isentropic Efficiency = 96.42 % = (1,466.8 btu/lbm - 1,295.9 btu/lbm) / (1,466.8 btu/lbm - 1,289.5 btu/lbm)] Step 3: If solve for 'Outlet Properties', Determine Outlet Specific Enthalpy 1. Isentropic Efficiency = (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - Outlet Specific Enthalpy) / (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - IDEAL Outlet Specific Enthalpy) 2. Isentropic Efficiency * (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - IDEAL Outlet Specific Enthalpy) = (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - Outlet Specific Enthalpy) 3. Outlet Specific Enthalpy = Inlet Specific Enthalpy - Isentropic Efficiency * (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - IDEAL Outlet Specific Enthalpy) Using the outlet specific enthalpy, calculate the outlet properties: Step 4: Calculate Steam Turbine Energy Out and Generation (Power Out)

Energy Out = (Inlet Specific Enthalpy - Outlet Specific Enthalpy) * Mass Flow

[Energy Out = 754.3 MMBtu/hr = (1,466.8 btu/lbm - 1,295.9 btu/lbm) * 4,413.3 k lb/hr]
Pow er Out = Energy Out * Generator Efficiency

[Pow er Out = 210,000.0 k W = 754.3 MMBtu/hr * 95.00 % ]

Assumptions
Inlet Mass Flows equal Outlet Mass Flow.
