Turbine Efficiency Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Turbine Efficiency.
Eturbine = WSCt / WSCa *100
- Where Eturbine is the Turbine Efficiency (%)
- WSCt is the theoretical pounds of steam consumed (lbs)
- WSCa is the actual steam consumed (lbs)
How to Calculate Turbine Efficiency?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Turbine Efficiency.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the theoretical pounds of steam consumed (lbs). In this example, the theoretical pounds of steam consumed (lbs) is given as 5000.
- Next, determine the actual steam consumed (lbs). For this problem, the actual steam consumed (lbs) is given as 13000.
- Finally, calculate the Turbine Efficiency using the equation above:
Eturbine = WSCt / WSCa *100
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
Eturbine = 5000 / 13000*100 = 38.4 (%)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
theoretical pounds of steam consumed (lbs) = 6000
actual steam consumed (lbs) = 12000
Entering these values yields:
Eturbine = 6000/12000 *100 = 50 (%)
