What is difference between radial flow turbine and axial flow turbine?
in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.
What is surge pad of steam turbine?
A surge pad in a steam turbine is a component designed to manage and stabilize the flow of steam within the turbine system. It helps prevent excessive pressure fluctuations and maintains a consistent flow, which is crucial for optimal turbine performance and efficiency. By providing a buffer against sudden changes in pressure or flow, surge pads contribute to the overall reliability and safety of the steam turbine operation.
What is the length of an blade for a gas turbine?
The length of a blade depends on the style (impulse or reaction), the overall size of the turbine, whether it is an axial flow or radial flow turbine, and where the blade is located within turbine of an axial flow turbine. One thing that is constant: the length of the blade increases from the steam or gas inlet to the discharge of the unit. The profile will gradually increase in diameter from inlet to discharge.
What is turbine windage protection?
when steam flow blockage occured in steam turbine due to damage of blades/nozzles than steam temperature will increase so protect the turbine from high temperature this protection is introduced.
How do you lower turbine differential expansion?
by controlling main steam flow
What is an example of an energy balance equation on a steam turbine?
An example of an energy balance equation for a steam turbine can be expressed as: Input energy (steam flow rate x enthalpy of steam) Output energy (mechanical work done by the turbine heat losses)
What is the cause of High Displacement in Steam Turbine?
High displacement in a steam turbine typically results from the design and operational parameters of the turbine, including the size and number of stages, as well as the steam flow rate. Increased steam flow leads to a larger volume of steam passing through the turbine, which can elevate displacement. Additionally, factors such as changes in steam pressure and temperature can affect the turbine's efficiency and capacity, potentially causing higher displacement. Proper design and operational adjustments are crucial to manage displacement effectively.
What is powered by a nuclear reactor?
A steam turbine/generating unit, or a naval vessel
What is controlled and uncontrolled extraction in double extraction steam turbine?
The extraction of steam can either be controlled or uncontrolled. In an uncontrolled extraction the pressure of the extracted steam will decrease with an increase in extraction flow from the turbine. In a controlled extraction the extraction pressure is kept constant as extraction flow is increased or decreased.
What is purpose to spray in exhaust hood of steam turbine?
The purpose of exhaust hood spray is to decrease the temperature of steam turbine last stage that is probably LP. This is operate on low load specially at start up and shut down of steam turbine when the temperature at the outer most edge of the turbine blades of that stage is very high and As we know that the steam flow also decrease The temperature of turbine blade.
Why vacuum is created in condenser on steam turbine?
Firstly, vacuum is being created in turbine exhaust and condenser rather than being required. It is created to reduce the back-pressures and to improve the turbine efficiency. Also, with vacuum the designers can design large size last stage blades of LP turbine for maximizing the turbine output.
What is tmcr bmcr conditions of thermal power plant?
BMCR is the boiler maximum continous rating .It is that the maximum temperature , steam flow or the pressure that is used to generate full load or the bolier can withstand.TMCR is the turbine maximum continous rating .It is that the maximum temperature , steam flow or the pressure that the turbine requires for generating full loadNOTE:BMCR WILL BE MORE COMPARED TO TMCR
