Description of simplified internal flow systems.

System no.	Description	Relevance
1	Energy source: modeled as a system delivering super-heated steam to represent combustion and compression process	Represents inlet, compressor, and combustor systems
2	Energy transfer: modeled as a duct connecting System 1 to System 3, with heat transfer possible	Represents combustor and diffuser (or similar device) connecting combustor to turbine
3	Energy conversion: modeled as a system converting energy from super-heated steam to work	Represents turbine power generation
