Steam turbines are an important component of process plant utility systems for optimizing steam supply reliability as well as site-wide energy effciency. This article reviews the thermodynamic relationships and design equations that link steam flow conditions to power output, which are useful for not only estimating preliminary economics of steam turbines, but also for performance analysis of existing units.
