The steam at 250Degc does it work and gets converted to mechanical energy by the turbine and to increase the efiiciency of the turbine the pressure is mentained below atmosphearic pressure at the exhust. It is not cost benificaial to handle (pump) this steam coming out of the exhust thus needs to be cooled to take it to liquide stage by cooling towers.

What is blade pass frequency?

Blade Pass Frequency is the number of blades/vanes passing a particular point in the casing of a pump/fan in unit time. It can be expressed in s-1 units or hertz.


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 it called a butterfly valve?

Because the inner area where the fluid moves has a gate which is shaped like a butterfliys wings. Passing through the centre of this gate is a rod which ends outside the valve where the handle is attached. When the gate is open it allows flow, when closed the gate seals off the valve stopping flow or if require can be partially turned to restrict flow

How is heat removed from the petrol engine?

Circulating cooling water takes heat to the radiator (which cools by air passing through it rather than by radiation). On a simple motor bike, it is by air passing over cooling "fins".

The cooling system of a hydro-generator is one that is done through channels. It is sent through rotor steels. This is essential when it comes to passing air along quickly.


How does evaporative cooling work?

Evaporative cooling works best in climates with low humidity. It works by passing air over streaming air by way of a powerful fan. As the water evaporates, it causes the air to cool.


What are all the methods to trapping co2?

Some methods of trapping carbon dioxide are: electrochemical reduction, cooling it into a liquid, and passing the gas through an alkali.


What is swamp cooling?

Swamp cooling is also known as evaporative cooling, and involves passing hot dry air over a damp medium. The energy required to evaporate the water lowers the temperature of the air. This is how it applies to residential applications, typically only used in very arid climates for maximum efficiency, but I never heard of it used in an automotive capacity.


What does the water drained out of an air conditioner comprise of?

It is the humidity from the air passing through the cooling coil that has condensed on the coil. By drainig it out the humidity inside the room is reduced and you feel cooler.

Why temp drops during throttling?

Throttling is the process of passing gas through a narrow opening at a high velocity. While doing so the gas expands thereby providing a cooling effect.


Air bubbles in cooling system ford windstar 2000?

Air bubbles in the cooling systems usually means that the head gasket has gone out. As with most auto mobiles, air in the cooling system means exhaust is getting into the cooling system through a break in the head gasket. A break has probably occurred between the cylinder ring on the gasket and on the pressure stoke is passing through to the water port in the block at the top of the cylinder between the head and the cylinder indicating a break has occurred in the gasket.
