Program features:

State Points: Steam state points can be calculated given a pressure and any of the following: temperature, entropy, enthalpy, and moisture.
Steam Rates: Theoretical steam rates can be calculated given inlet and exhaust pressures, plus inlet temperature, inlet enthalpy, inlet entropy, or inlet moisture.
Estimations: "Straight through" steam turbines can be estimated given power or inlet steam flow, speed, efficiency, inlet and exhaust pressures, plus inlet temperature, inlet enthalpy, inlet entropy, or inlet moisture. A feature allows the estimation of blade heights when disk base diameters are given.
Extractions: Extraction or induction steam turbines can be estimated similar to the straight through type.
Field Test: Turbine efficiency can be evaluated based on Field operating data.
Detailed print outs are available with each program function.
Full control of the input and output units is available. All normally used English system and metric system units are user selectable.

Steam Flex Troubleshooting

Steam Flex will not install

Steam Flex will not execute or run
Verify that the hardlock is properly installed in the printer port. Remove and reinstall to assure good contact is made.
Follow directions in the installation directions.
Be sure that your computer has the proper hardware requirements. See the Introduction section for details.

Printer does not function
Verify that the printer cable is securely connected, the printer has power and a supply of paper that is properly loaded, and the printer is in the ready or on-line mode.
Check to see if the proper printer has been selected (see "Printers" under "Control Panel" in the "Program Manager").
Consult your printer manufacturer's manual.

Hardlock Compatibility

The parallel port hardlock supplied with the program, while compatible with most printers, does not always permit normal function of equipment attached through it. If possible, attach the hardlock to an unused printer port. If you experience trouble with printers, CD's, zip drives, or other equipment connected to the printer port, first remove the hardlock and try using auxiliary equipment without the hardlock attached. With certain printers it may be necessary to start up your computer without the hardlock connected and with the printer directly connected to the printer port. Once the system is up and running, reconnect the hardlock to start and operate the Flexware programs. If necessary, USB port hardlocks are available.
