This calculation procedure is the work of M. M. El-Wakil given in his
excellent text, Powerplant Technology, McGraw-Hill, 1984 and 2002. The
reader should refer to that text for further insight into energy calculations,
along with the derivation of the equations given here. The handbook editor
added minor transitional wording to adapt the procedure to the format used in
the handbook.
