Description

a) Hello, in the ```cellulosic model```, the temperature and pressure of ```low-pressure steam``` seems to be higher than the temperature and pressure of ```medium-pressure steam and high-pressure steam```, and the heat transfer efficiency of ```low-pressure steam and medium-pressure steam``` is both ```0.9```. This does not seem right?
```
from biorefineries import cellulosic
import biosteam as bst
from biosteam import settings
bst.nbtutorial()
cs = cellulosic.Biorefinery('corn stover ethanol')
lps = bst.settings.get_heating_agent('low_pressure_steam')
lps
```
```
mps = bst.settings.get_heating_agent('medium_pressure_steam')
mps
```
```
hps = bst.settings.get_heating_agent('high_pressure_steam')
hps
```

b) Could I consult you the source of data on the ```heat transfer efficiency``` of ```low pressure steam, medium pressure steam and high pressure steam``` in BioSTEAM (https://github.com/BioSTEAMDevelopmentGroup/biosteam/blob/master/biosteam/_heat_utility.py#L522-L536)?

Thanks for your help. Wish you a good day.

Research direction

Start with the cellulosic model example and inspect the values returned by get_heating_agent for low-, medium-, and high-pressure steam. Read biosteam/_heat_utility.py around lines 522-536 to trace the heat transfer efficiency values and their cited source. Done means determining whether the reported settings are incorrect and documenting the source or discrepancy.
