🚀 Quick Example

<<<<<<< HEAD

from ThermoSim import (
    ThermodynamicModel, Turbine, Pump, HeatExchanger,
)
from ThermoSim.plotting import CyclePlotter

Model = ThermodynamicModel()
Model.set_dead_state()

Model.add_point('water', '1', P=8e6, T=753.15, Mass_flowrate=1)
Model.add_point('water', '2', P=0.008e6)
Model.add_point('water', '3', P=0.008e6, Q=0)
Model.add_point('water', '4', P=8e6)

Turbine(Model, 'Turbine', '1', '2', n_isen=0.85, Calculate=True)
HeatExchanger(Model, 'Condenser', PPT=5, HEX_type='SimpleHEX',
              HeatAdded=False, Hot_In_state='2', Hot_Out_state='3',
              Cold_In_state=None, Cold_Out_state=None, Calculate=True)
Pump(Model, 'Pump', '3', '4', n_isen=1.0, Calculate=True)
HeatExchanger(Model, 'Boiler', PPT=5, HEX_type='SimpleHEX',
              HeatAdded=True, Hot_In_state=None, Hot_Out_state=None,
