Equation 2 (the first law, steady-state energy equation) becomes for the turbine, ... Thermodynamics show that work and efficiency of a steam generator improve with increased pressure.

Thermodynamic calculations indicate that the exiting enthalpy from the turbine is 1018.2 Btu/lbm (steam quality is 86%). Equation 2 (the simplified first law, steady-state energy equation) becomes ...

As Rau and Kirchartz 2 point out in their equation (2), the various design elements such as angle restriction, light trapping and improvement of external radiative efficiency are interdependent, a ...

"Thinking about engines has driven the progress of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics ever since Carnot set a limit on the efficiency of heat engines in 1824," physicist Hyuk Kyu Pak, an ...
