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 positive axial displacement of steam turbine?

axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.


What is the difference between E and nu in engineering geology?

E is generally taken to be the elastic constant known as Young's modulus which describes the relationship between axial stress and axial strain where Hooke's law still applies (i.e. linear elasticity). Nu is Poisson's ratio which is the relationship between axial strain and radial or transverse strain. For more information, please see the related link.


How does a Ljungstrom steam turbine work and look like?

Ljungstrom Turbine is a Radial Outflow Steam Turbine with two counter rotating discs. Blades are mounted in circles one bigger than the other. Blades of one rotor work as nozzles for the other rotor blades. This turbine design is very forgiving on wet steam. It is said that the turbine design had limitations on scaling up above 30 MW and hence could not compete with Axial Flow Turbines.


Will a axial capacitor replace a radial capacitor?

Axial capacitors and radial capacitors serve similar functions but are designed for different applications based on their form factors. Axial capacitors are typically used in circuits where space is limited and a linear layout is preferred, while radial capacitors are often used in applications that allow for more compact arrangements. In some cases, an axial capacitor can replace a radial capacitor if the layout and electrical specifications align, but it ultimately depends on the specific circuit requirements and design constraints. Therefore, they are not directly interchangeable without consideration of these factors.


What is use of thrust pad in steam turbine?

Thrust pads are used to protect the steam turbine rotor from damage due to axial displacement due to axial thrust created by entry of steam in the turbine. generaly the pads clearence is 0.45mm for a bearing size 250mm.

What is the difference between axial load and radial load?

Axial load (or thrust load) is a force applied parallel to the longitudinal axis, whereas, a radial load is a force applied transverse to this longitudinal axis.


What is the difference between radial displacement and axial displacement?

Hey, the difference is quite clear! Radial is the distance between the two shaft axis and is quantified by measuring the radial distance between the centerline of one shaft if it were to be extended to overlap the other, but Axial misalignment is the variation in axial distance between the shafts of the driving and driven machinery. Good luck honey...


Major difference between thrust radial bearing?

A thrust bearing is designed to handle axial loads (parallel to the shaft), while a radial bearing is designed to handle radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft). These bearings have different internal structures to accommodate their respective load types. Thrust bearings usually have a series of balls or rollers to support axial loads, whereas radial bearings have a raceway to support radial loads.


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.


Why tripping value of axial shift of steam turbine is more than turbine rotor float?

axial shift depends upon the gap between rotot blade and fixed blade , not on float


What is meant by axial displacement in steam turbine?

Axial displacement is the motion along the shaft of the turbine caused by the force exerted by the steam or by the thermal expansion of the shaft and casing.

Designing an axial fan for aircraft?

what do you mean? axial compressor (or) axial turbine? Their missions are different. Design for axial compressor or turbine, must be consider their performance. The performance is characterized by - pressure ratio, rotational speed and efficiency. The details of how to design axial fan, are very complex.
