Decimal point error correction for calculation of a MiniTurbine version of the
IAS Bladeless Turbine.
The calculations show that about 3.2 (STP) liters/sec water vapor exiting
the rotor orifices will produce about 20 electrical watts at about 1.0% of
theoretical efficiency (based on 2260 joule/gram contained in
the 0.72 grams of water vapor "propellent") compared to a Carnot efficiency of 1.5%
for the 5 K temperature difference.
Still not bad for a system that is scalable from milliwatts to megawatts.
