Turbine (Isentropic)#

This is a steam power generation turbine model for the basic isentropic turbine calculations. It is the basis of the TurbineInletStage, TurbineOutletStage <reference_guides/model_libraries/power_generation/unit_models/turbine_inlet:Turbine (Outlet Stage)>, and, TurbineOutletStage <reference_guides/model_libraries/power_generation/unit_models/turbine_inlet:Turbine (Stage)> models.

Isentropic outlet molar enthalpy [J/mol]

Constraints#

In addition to the mass and energy balances provided by the control volume the following equation is used to calculate the outlet enthalpy, so work comes from the control volume energy balance.

\[h_{out} = h_{in} - \eta_{is}\left(h_{in} - h_{is}\right)\]

Initialization#

To initialize the turbine model, a reasonable guess for the inlet condition and deltaP and efficiency should be set by setting the appropriate variables.

TurbineStageData Class#

class idaes.models_extra.power_generation.unit_models.helm.turbine.HelmIsentropicTurbineData(component)[source]#

Basic isentropic 0D turbine model. This inherits the heater block to get a lot of unit model boilerplate and the mass balance, enegy balance and pressure equations. This model is intended to be used only with Helmholtz EOS property packages in mixed or single phase mode with P-H state vars.

Since this inherits BalanceBlockData, and only operates in steady-state or pseudo-steady-state (for dynamic models) the following mass, energy and pressure equations are implicitly written.

  1. Mass Balance:

    0 = flow_mol_in[t] - flow_mol_out[t]

  2. Energy Balance:

    0 = (flow_mol[t]*h_mol[t])_in - (flow_mol[t]*h_mol[t])_out + Q_in + W_in

  3. Pressure:

    0 = P_in[t] + deltaP[t] - P_out[t]

build()[source]#

Add model equations to the unit model. This is called by a default block construnction rule when the unit model is created.

initialize_build(outlvl=0, solver=None, optarg=None)[source]#

For simplicity this initialization requires you to set values for the efficiency, inlet, and one of pressure ratio, pressure change or outlet pressure.
