Specific Work of Gas Turbine

Computes the specific work of a gas turbine using isentropic expansion: w = γ / ((γ−1) × R × T_norm × (1 − (P2/P1)^((γ−1)/γ))), where T_norm = T(°C)/274.15.

Inputs

Ratio of Specific Heat (γ)(J/kgK)

Ratio of specific heats for air — default 1.4 (readonly in original UI)

Individual Gas Constant(J/kgK)

Specific gas constant for air — default 286.9 J/kgK (readonly in original UI)

Absolute Temperature(°C)

Inlet temperature in degrees Celsius — normalised internally as T/274.15

Secondary Pressure(N/m²)

Outlet pressure in newtons per square metre

Primary Pressure(N/m²)

Inlet pressure in newtons per square metre

Results

⚠Primary pressure must be greater than zero
