Work Done by Turbine (Isentropic Expansion)

Work Done by Turbine (Isentropic Expansion) Equation

$$ W_{turbine} = h_3 - h_4 $$ where:

W_turbine = Work produced by the turbine (J)

h₃ = Enthalpy of steam entering the turbine (J)

h₄ = Enthalpy of the steam after leaving the turbine (J)

Calculator

Property to Calculate:

Work produced by the turbine (W_turbine):

Enthalpy of steam entering the turbine (h₃):

Enthalpy of the steam after leaving the turbine (h₄):

Equation Assumptions

The system is in steady state.
Working fluid behaves as an ideal gas.
There are no heat losses to surroundings.
Specific heats remain constant.
