Matlab for steam turbine simulation

[gshockxc]

I'm just getting started using Matlab, and I've seen quite a bit of information for performing simulations on Gas Turbines and Wind Turbines. But I'm interested in seeing if I can model steam turbine operation using Matlab. But I'm not interested in modeling the generator or control system. I want to model the turbine itself, steam flow, conditions, kw output, etc.

Other than a few simple commands, I'm very new to Matlab. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Why the need to do this simulation in Matlab if it's a totally unfamiliar environment to you? You'd be better off using an environment you are comfortable in and familiar with.

I don't have any other tools to use for this simulation. Part of the objective is to learn Matlab and see what I can do with it.

Then I suggest you learn Matlab and see what you can do with it.
