In axial flow compressors, the primary purpose of IGVs (fixed or variable) is to guide the airflow onto the first stage rotor blades at an appropriate or required angle of attack.
You should consult the control.com website, they have a plethora of information and instructions on how to manually callibrate the IGV of a gas turbine.
Runway speed is the speed at full opening of guide vanes at nominal head and no load on Generator
1. The working gas is compressed in compressor and directed towards the heat exchanger (Air heater), where heat is being added to the compressed gas before it enters the turbine. 2. The heat is supplied by an external source such as a nuclear reactor, or some other heat source. 3. The hot gasses then expend and accelerate through a nozzle which drive the guide vanes of the turbine and then shaft. 4. At last, the remaining exhaust gasses pass through a cooler and directed towards the compressor inlet.
there are three major types vanes are used for a centrifugal pumps those are 1.forward curved vanes 2.backward curved vanes 3.flat vanes
A nuclear power station uses heat given off by the controlled fission of enriched uranium. The heat is used to boil water, the steam blows through the vanes of a turbine, and the turbine spins an electrical generator.

Variable inlet guide vanes are typically found in axial compressors and turbines. They operate by adjusting the angle of the guide vanes to control the flow of air or gas entering the compressor or turbine. By changing the angle of the guide vanes, the system can optimize performance by altering the velocity and direction of the incoming fluid flow.

Stay vanes are stationary vanes located at the entrance of a turbine or pump to guide the flow of fluid towards the rotating blades. They help control the direction and speed of the fluid entering the machine. Stay vanes work in conjunction with the rotating blades to efficiently convert fluid energy into mechanical energy.
To remove inlet guide vanes (IGVs) in a gas turbine, first ensure the turbine is shut down and secured. Disconnect any associated control systems and sensors, then carefully unbolt and detach the IGVs from their housing. It’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety protocols to prevent damage to the turbine or injury during the removal process. After removal, inspect the IGVs for wear or damage before reinstallation or replacement.

Variable inlet guide vanes (VIGV) are typically used in satellite compressors to allow for capacity variation. These vanes can control the airflow entering the compressor, thus adjusting the compressor's capacity.
In steam turbines, guide vanes are typically fixed in the turbine's stationary casing or casing sections, located before the rotor blades. Their primary function is to direct the flow of steam towards the rotor blades at the optimal angle, ensuring efficient energy transfer. By maintaining a fixed position, they help stabilize the steam flow and improve the overall performance of the turbine.
