Steam Turbine Blade

A simple procedure for calculating the pressure at the onset and termination of condensation shocks that occur in steam nozzles and steam turbine blade passages is presented. In addition, the location of the termination of the condensation shock with reference to the throat location is also predicted. The procedure is based entirely on thermodynamic and gas dynamic considerations, without using a model for droplet nucleation and growth and the nozzle profile. The only input required is the stagnation condition at the inlet to the nozzle. The procedure requires the solution of a system of algebraic equations which can be accomplished quite easily. Calculations have been carried out for several inlet stagnation conditions and the predictions are compared with the available experimental data. The agreement is seen to be reasonable considering the simplicity of the procedure.

Aerodynamic experiments on three cascades of an 850-mm steam turbine blade have been performed. Several Schlieren photographs that give clear shock structures and dynamic performances at different Mach numbers have been obtained by a Schlieren-videcorder system. On the basis of the experimental data, we analyzed the generation and development of the shock patterns in the transonic turbine casade channel and their influence on the aerodynamic performance was analyzed. Through discussions and analysis, it is shown that these cascades characterize high loading capacity with satisfactory efficiency.

Definition Of

The computation of angular acceleration of a rigid body from measured linear accelerations is a simple procedure, based on well-known kinematic principles. It can be shown that, in theory, a minimum of six linear accelerometers are required for a complete definition of the kinematics of a rigid body. However, recent attempts in impact biomechanics to determine general three-dimensional motion of body segments were unsuccessful when only six accelerometers were used. This paper demonstrates the cause for this inconsistency between theory and practice and specifies the conditions under which the method fails. In addition, an alternate method based on a special nine-accelerometer configuration is proposed. The stability and superiority of this approach are shown by the use of hypothetical as well as experimental data.

Abstract Steam turbine blade is a very complex structure. It has geometric complexities like variation of twist, taper, width and thickness along its length. Most of the time these variations are not uniform. Apart from these geometric complexities, the blades are coupled by means of lacing wire, lacing rod or shroud. Blades are attached to a flexible disc which contributes to the dynamic behavior of the blade. Root fixity also plays an important role in this behavior. There is a considerable variation in the frequencies of blades of newly assembled turbine and frequencies after some hours of running. Again because of manufacturing tolerances there can be some variation in the blade to blade frequencies. Determination of natural frequencies of the blade is therefore a very critical job. Problems associated with typical industrial turbine bladed discs of a 235 MW steam turbine are highlighted in this paper.

Kinetics Of

By fitting the calculated transformed fraction according to developed phase-transformation model to the experimental data obtained by differential dilatometry, the kinetic characteristics of the austenitization process in T91 steels have been investigated. According to the kinetic parameters fitted, we recognize that the nucleation and growth of austenite grain are mainly controlled by the diffusion of carbon in ferritic and austenite respectively. In addition, by increasing the diffusion active energy of carbon in austenite, carbides hinder the motion of interface and thus refine austenite grain.
