Power station

how detailed do you want? What kind of powerstation? Most of my info is in books, but for a recent design of a combined cycle(Brayton + Rankine, essentially, topping + bottoming ) I used some internet resources(mostly journal articles I found the abstracts for online). Thermo is thermo in the analysis stage, as in, W(turb) = hin-hout, W(net) = W(turb)-W(pump or compressor), eta_therm = W(net)/Q(in), etc...then account for efficiencies(it's not actually isentropic as you know)... but I could direct you to some links if I knew whether you were considering a gas cycle or a vapor cycle, if for thermo analysis purposes you are assuming the Q in is from an "external source" so as not to have to analyze the combustion (which is how this is handled in undergrad thermo and powergen classes for the most part), etc. I do have some resources for you, email offlist if you like or i'll check back here later. regards, karinne
