Power Plants, Steam and Gas Turbines WebQuest

A WebQuest is an Internet-based and inquiry-oriented learning activity. The aim of this work is to outline the creation of a WebQuest entitled “Power Generation Plants: Steam and Gas Turbines.” This is one of the topics covered in the course “Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer,” which is offered in the second year of Mechanical Engineering at the Defense University Center at the Naval Academy in ...

Avoiding Stressed-Out Steam Turbines

assembly, Pro/ENGINEER CAD geometry was imported into ANSYS Mechanical software and meshed using SOLID185 elements. Frictionless surface-tosurface contact pairs with augmented Lagrangian algorithms were created between mating surfaces. A matching node pattern was maintained at the root and slot pressure faces, where load transfers take place between the two components. As an in-house design pra...
