Variables Used
Efficiency of Turbine - Efficiency of Turbine is the ratio of work obtained from turbine to the heat supplied to turbine.
Turbine Inlet Enthalpy - (Measured in Joule) - Turbine Inlet Enthalpy is the total energy per unit mass of the fluid entering a turbine.
Turbine Exit Enthalpy - (Measured in Joule) - Turbine Exit Enthalpy is the energy of the gases after expanding through the turbine.
Isentropic Turbine Exit Enthalpy - (Measured in Joule) - Isentropic Turbine Exit Enthalpy refers to the enthalpy of the fluid leaving a turbine under isentropic (reversible adiabatic) conditions.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Turbine Inlet Enthalpy: 1622 Kilojoule --> 1622000 Joule (Check conversion here)
Turbine Exit Enthalpy: 748.8 Kilojoule --> 748800 Joule (Check conversion here)
Isentropic Turbine Exit Enthalpy: 659 Kilojoule --> 659000 Joule (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
ηT = (h3-h4)/(h3-h4s) --> (1622000-748800)/(1622000-659000)
