    Alex -

    You get a C on theory and an F on presentation. The geeks understood what
    you presented - you just explained it badly. The civilians did not care
    about these particular aspects and were therefore lost in the strange
    discussion of the esoteric. Well maybe a D - You did not actually say
    anything wrong.

    There are, apparently, some gas expansion effects as well as mass flow in
    driving the turbine. Must be esoteric as it is clearly side mentioned in
    the basic literature. I am not going to a University Library to find real
    meat. (It is, in fact, rumored, that we do not have such a library in
    Nevada - those who live in Reno argue the point)

    Jim - Still annoyed after spending two hours searching for a non-existent
    point.

    You got that right.

    mildly relevant justification snipped.
