The steam economy determines the efficiency of the system. The economy is determined by the lbs. or condensed water per lb. of steam used to condense it. In order for all aspects of the steam economy to be analyzed, other factors need to be included. These include:

• Modeling the Evaporation Process
• Solving for Heat and Material Balances
• Solving for Heat Transfer Coefficients
• Thermocompressor Flows as Function of Motive Pressures
