Examples
The TAESS distribution includes an example of a simple gas turbine cycle used in the tutorial. It includes:
- A thermodynamic model made using EES (Engineering Equation Solver), which generates data files that can be imported by TAESS.
- The Excel worksheet of the thermoeconomic analysis of the plant.
