Reactor Turbines Mod for IC2

The relationship between heat, cooling and power generation for reactor turbines has been adjusted.

To easily configure fuel rods for maximum output, they can be placed as seen in the image below:

Detailed explanation:

The optimal temperature for turbine power generation is 25% of the reactors maximum heat.
The equation for the power generation of a single turbine is 512*(heat/maxHeat*0.25).

Turbines also cool the reactor:At (maxHeat*0.25)*0.2 and below, the turbine removes 24 hU per second from the reactor.

• Between (maxHeat*0.25)*0.2 and (maxHeat*0.25)*0.4, the turbine removes 48 hU per second from the reactor.
• Between (maxHeat*0.25)*0.4 and (maxHeat*0.25)*0.6, the turbine removes 72 hU per second from the reactor.
• Between (maxHeat*0.25)*0.6 and (maxHeat*0.25)*0.8, the turbine removes 96 hU per second from the reactor.
• Between (maxHeat*0.25)*0.8 and (maxHeat*0.25)*1.0, the turbine removes 120 hU per second from the reactor.
• At (maxHeat*0.25)*1.0 and above, the turbine removes 144 hU per second from the reactor.

This means that the power generated by the turbines scales with the amount of heat generated but it becomes harder to produce that heat with each increase.

The chart below (from the ic2 wiki) and the information above can be used to roughly calculate the power generation of the turbines depending on the fuel rods you've added to the reactor.


HU (Heat) / second

	Uranium Cell	Dual Uranium Cell	Quad Uranium Cell
reflections 0	4	24	96
reflections 1	12	48	160
reflections 2	24	80	240
reflections 3	40	120	336
reflections 4	60	168	448

ie: One dual uranium fuel rod creates 24 hu/s. The same amount removed by the turbines below 20% optimal heat. So, the turbines are capable of maintaining 512*0.2 or ~100 eu/t per turbine with a single dual uranium fuel rod with no reflections. Two dual uranium fuel rods can maintain up to 512*0.4 eu/t or ~200 eu/t per turbine.
