Determination of the Real Loss of Power for a Condensing and a Backpressure Turbine by Means of Second Law Analysis

All real processes generate entropy and the power/exergy loss is usually determined by means of the Gouy-Stodola law. If the system only exchanges heat at the environmental temperature, the Gouy-Stodola law gives the correct loss of power. However, most industrial processes exchange heat at higher o...
