The acausal bond graph of system \textbf{LiquidTurbine} is
displayed in Figure \Ref{LiquidTurbine_abg} and its label
file is listed in Section \Ref{sec:LiquidTurbine_lbl}.
The subsystems are listed in Section \Ref{sec:LiquidTurbine_sub}.
\textbf{LiquidTurbine} can be regarded as a single-spool gas turbine
with an incompressible working fluid. Of course, such a device cannot
convert heat to work; however, it provides a useful first step towards
modelling a gas turbine.
There are three main components:
\begin{enumerate}
\item p1 -- a leaky pump \textbf{lPump} component. This is analogous
to the gas turbine compressor.
\item c1 -- a tank \textbf{Tank} component. This is analogous
to the gas turbine combustion chamber.
\item t1 -- a leaky turbine \textbf{lTurb} component. This is analogous
to the gas turbine turbine.
\end{enumerate}
The components \textbf{In} and \textbf{Out} provide the inlet and
outlet conditions.
