Path: Thermal/Brayton
% Design an axial turbine
Assumes repeating stages. Uses mean line analysis. The reaction,
flow coefficient and loading coefficient determine the design.
The output data structure has all the values in the input plus values
computed in the function. The latex formatted output can be saved to
a file using CreateLatexTable or printed in the command window using
DisplayLatexTable.
Type AxialTurbineDesign for a demo taken from Example 4.2 in the
reference on pages 138-139.
