I'm curious how large(dimensions) and how heavy/massive a steam(or other gas) turbine needs to be to extract a given fraction and amount of the energy from the fluid. For example if a power plant is producing 1GW of thermal power, how much of that can realistically be converted to electrical power, and what kind of turbines would it take? Could the turbines be made more compact and lighter if they were to go on a submarine or ship (and how would that impact efficiency)?
