Expander
Recover work while dropping the pressure of a gas stream.
Inputs
Efficiency (%): Isentropic efficiency in percent (must be between 0 and 100).Outlet Pressure: Target outlet pressure, lower than the inlet pressure.
Outputs
- Work output: Positive work recovered from the expansion, equal to the reversible work multiplied by the efficiency.
Warnings
- Liquid in expander: If a liquid-phase or two-phase state is detected.
- Wrong sign: If the specified outlet pressure of the expander is higher than the computed inlet pressure.
