Thanx for the info, Rematog. B&W;built the 1200# / 30,000 SHP plant (circa ~1960) that I’ve been using as a steam to torque model. Actually, the ship was commissioned in ’63 with a 600# plant and was being upgraded to 1200 when I got there in ’76.
So FF just might work in a steam turbine, depending on the heat exchanger’s input temperature and transfer efficiency. I was going through some notes earlier today and was reminded of the distinction between combustion turbines and steam turbines. I also read a thread yesterday on a flameless turbo/ramjet engine. Do you think that might be applicable to the utilities industry?
