⚠️ Important Notes About These Resources

The resources on this page complement the content of Appendix 2 in Advanced Modeling of Thermodynamic Cycles of Nuclear Power Plants.

• Models and examples are accessible online but require the Thermoptim software for full interactivity. Download Thermoptim here to access the complete features.
• Some resources are historical examples from the Thermoptim portal, while others are updated models developed specifically for the book. They should not have any consequences on the understanding of the presented concepts.

📌 Turbines and Stodola’s Law

Key Concepts Covered:

• Analysis of flow and efficiency in turbines and compressors.
• Transition from the polytropic approach to the isentropic approach
• Application of Stodola’s law in turbomachinery.
• Integration of Stodola’s law in Thermoptim models.
