Clausius-Rankine Process with Standard Water

• Joule process with steam and water as medium:
  • MSL media contains IAPWS-IF97 formulation
  • very different values of pressure and mass flow
  • compressor (ideal gas) → pump (incompressible fluid)
    • use simpler nominal pump instead of centrifugal pump
  • ThermoDLR only contains turbine for ideal gas
• Constructing a turbine for steam:
  • use generic compressor characteristics from above (Dry Air)
  • transition from hot steam to wet steam
    • → hard to find working parameters
  • start with high end pressure and reduce gradually
    • change reference parameters to make simulation run
    • adapt all parameters to reach low end pressure
• Building the cycle:
  • including turbine in cycle
    • finetuning sometimes counterintuitive
    • changing the solver from Dassl to Esdirk23a helps
  • cooler neads huge heat transfer coefficient
  • closing the cycle with volume needs parameter changes
