Calculating Steam Turbine output power

[QUOTE="anorlunda, post: 6231018, member: 455902"] In general, the most efficient turbines use the highest possible pressures and temperatures. That minimized operating costs. But it might raise capital costs. Most likely, they had 2 KW as a requirement. There may be constraints on the pressure and temperature of available fluids. The place to start is the Mollier Chart for the organic fluid. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy%E2%80%93entropy_chart[/URL] But if you want only an order of magnitude estimate, [B]W_[/B]turbine [B]= m_[/B]flow rate[B] * (H_[/B]in[B] - H_[/B]out[B]) [/B]is a simple energy balance. That might be the best you can do without many days of work to learn about turbine design. [/QUOTE]
