   The acausal bond graph of system \textbf{SimpleGasTurbine} is
   displayed in Figure \Ref{SimpleGasTurbine_abg} and its label
   file is listed in Section \Ref{sec:SimpleGasTurbine_lbl}.
   The subsystems are listed in Section \Ref{sec:SimpleGasTurbine_sub}.
   
   \textbf{SimpleGasTurbine} can be regarded as an single-spool gas
   turbine (producing shaft power) with an ideal-gas working fluid. It
   corresponds to the simple Joule Cycle as described in Chapter 12 of
   Rogers and Mayhew and in Chapter 2 of Cohen, Rogers and
   Saravanamutto. However, unlike those examples, the system is
   written with dynamics in mind.

The system is described using an energy Bond Graph- this ensures
that the first law is observed. In particular (for I believe the first
time) transformers are used to explicitly convert between energy
covariables. Although this is a simple model, I believe that it

There are five main components:
\begin{enumerate}
\item p1 -- a \textbf{Pump} component representing the compressor
  stage. This converts shaft work to energy flow in the working fluid.
\item c1 -- a \textbf{Comb} component representing the combustion

Both heat input and work output are measured using the \textbf{PS}
(power sensor) component, that for work output is embedded in the
\textbf{Load} component. These can be monitored to give the efficiency
of the \textbf{SimpleGasTurbine}.

A symbolic steady-state for the model was computed -- see Section
\ref{sec:SimpleGasTurbine_sspar.tex}. In particular, the load
\ref{sec:SimpleGasTurbine_ss.tex}. In particular, the load
resistance was chosen to absorb all the generated work at the steady
state and the shaft inertia was chosen to give a unit time constant
for the linearised system. The mass flow and shaft speeds were taken
as unity.

For the purposed of simulation, the numerical values given in Examples
12.1 of Chapter 12 of Rogers and Mayhew, except that the isentropic
efficiencies are 100\% ($n=\gamma$) -- see Section
\ref{sec:SimpleGasTurbine_numpar.tex}.

Simulations were performed starting at the steady state and increasing
the combustion chamber temperature by 10\% at $t=1$ and reducing by
10\% at $t=5$. Graphs of the various outputs are plotted:
