What should be the possible reasons of vacuum drop of turbine?

In the low pressure side of a steam turbine, the vacuum is maintained by the condensation of steam in the condenser. At high loads, the condenser may not satisify the demand, allowing steam to remain gaseous for a longer period of time. This can cause pressure to rise.

Why is it important that the vacuum inside the envelope of a vacuum tube should be as hard as possible?

Does an industrial steam condenser work by a pressure drop?
From what I have read, it uses the heat of vaporization to create a vacuum due to condensation. So as steam condenses its volume is reduced. This creates a vacuum which increases the pressure drop accross the turbine. The larger the pressure drop accross the turbine, the better. I'm not an expert tho... http://books.google.com/books?id=7PeSdVhFhxgC&pg=PA41&lpg=PA41&dq=why+condenser&source=web&ots=HTeczt_DhL&sig=QS5YkcFzMQkTomz5y5FMb_Swsio&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result
Use of vacuum tube in first generation of computer?
It's purpose was to act like an amplifier and a switch. Without any moving parts, vacuum tubes could take very weak signals and make the signal stronger (amplify it). Vacuum tubes could also stop and start the flow of electricity instantly (switch). These two properties made the ENIAC computer possible.
How many KB is a vacuum tube?
Kilobytes and vacuum tubes are not in the same category. At best, a twin triode vacuum tube is a single flip-flop and can hold 1 bit of information, making a vacuum tube about 0.000122 of a kilobyte.
What is the one thing that cannot travel through a vacuum?
i think voice cannot travel through vacuum.
Why you are maintain the vacuum in steam turbine explain me briefly?
why we are maintain vacuum in steam turbine at steam outlet or exhaust side
Reasons of positive axial shift in steam turbine?
Sudden change of load Sudden drop of vacuum Sudden drop of Main steam temperature.
Why vacuum breaker is provided in condensing turbine exhaust?
it is mainly provided to save the difram of lp turbine, it is initially use to seal d vacuum's.
What is vaccume breaker in steam turbine?
A vacuum breaker is a check valve installed on the exhaust casing of a turbine. It opens to prevent the collapse of the exhaust hood when the turbine cools and the condensing steam produces a vacuum.
What is kenotometer?
A kenotometer is an instrument used in steam turbine condensers to measure the vacuum in the steam space of the condenser. The vacuum achieved by the condenser has significant influence on the efficiency of the steam turbine.
Why the vacuum is maintained in Steam condenser?
It is important to maintain a vacuum in a condenser if you want it to work well.

Is turbine pump is a centrifugal pump?
yes that is centrifugal pump because the turbine pump creates a vacuum pressure on pipe.
Why is your firebird making a hissing noise?
Well there are lots of possible reasons, BUT Li key it is a vacuum leak, either the hose of Brake booster, and or intake is / has a leaking vacuum line.
Why used hogger and ejector in steam turbine?
A steam turbine condenser equipped with ejectors is usually fitted with two ejectors. The larger of the two is called the hogger and the smaller the huffer. Steam turbines are designed for efficiency and thus attempt to extract as much energy from the steam passing thru as is physically possible. Energy is extracted as both temperature and pressure decrease. The lower the temperature and pressure at the steam turbine's exhaust the more energy can be extracted from the steam. For this reason it is desirable for the steam turbine condenser (the exhaust) to be at the lowest temperature and pressure possible. The hogger, or hogging jet, is a large steam powered ejector that causes the steam condenser to operate under a near perfect vacuum whilst the steam turbine is in the start-up phase. In steady state operation the cooling effect of the condenser cooling water of the steam causes the condenser to operate under a nearly self sustained vacuum. The hogger is necessary in the start-up phase to prevent steam from condensing to water in the final stages of the turbine before the steam flow and cooling effect of the condenser can establish vacuum. The huffer or huffing jet runs continuously whilst the turbine is operating to remove any non-condensable gasses (i.e. air) that might leak into the condenser. It is nearly impossible to perfectly seal a condenser and turbine from air-in leakage. It should be noted that modern, large steam turbines do not employ steam ejectors to establish and maintain condenser vacuum. Modern designs utilize motor driven mechanical vacuum pumps.
Why is vacuum in the condenser of such importance?
If you are talking about a condenser attached to a steam turbine, then a vacuum is important because it extends the usefulness of the steam in the turbine. As you probably know, steam begins to condense back into water at 212 deg at atmospheric pressure. However, in a vacuum condition, the boiling and condensing temperature is lower. Because the condenser is under a vacuum, steam exits the turbine and enters the condenser around 130 deg. This results in more power (mega watts).
What is the maximum vacuum possible?
Maximum possible vacuum is -0.1 Mpa
